1456. ‘Uqbah bin ‘Āmir Al-Juhānī narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us while we were at the Suffah, and said: ‘Who among you wishes to go in the early morning to (the valley of) Buṭhān, or Al-‘Aqīq, and take two Kumā’s[1] without incurring any sin with Allāh, nor breaking the ties of kinship?’ They said: ‘All of us (would like that), O Messenger of Allāh!’ He replied: ‘But if one of you were to go early in the morning to the Masjid, and memorize two Verses from the Book of Allāh, then this would be better for him than two she-camels, and three (Verses) are better than three; (the Verses) are equivalent to the same number of camels.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ) (Abū ‘Ubaid said: The Kumā’ is the she-camel with a large hump.)[2]

Arabic text

1456 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ - أَوِ الْعَقِيقِ - فَيَأْخُذَ نَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ إِثْمٍ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَلَا قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ؟» قَالُوا: كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَلَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ، وَإِنْ ثَلَاثٌ فَثَلَاثٌ مِثْلُ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ»

    [1] It is explained after the narration.

  2. 2

    [2] It appears that this definition was added by one of the copyists to one of the manuscripts. Abū ‘Ubaid is Al-Qāsim Ibn Sallām, and he compiled a dictionary of odd words in Ḥadīth called: “Gharīb Al-Ḥadīth.”
