English translation

831. Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idi said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once came upon us while we were reciting the Qur'ān to one another. He said: 'All praise be to Allāh! The Book of Allāh is one, and there are red, white and black people among you. Recite it, before there comes a people who will recite it — they will straighten it just as an arrow shaft is straightened. They will seek its reward immediately, and will not defer it.'" (Da'if)

831 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ وَفَاءِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ الصَّدَفِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ نَقْتَرِئُ، فَقَالَ: «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَاحِدٌ، وَفِيكُمُ الْأَحْمَرُ وَفِيكُمُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَفِيكُمْا لْأَسْوَدُ، اقْرَءُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهُ أَقْوَامٌ يُقِيمُونَهُ كَمَا يُقَوَّمُ السَّهْمُ يُتَعَجَّلُ أَجْرُهُ وَلَا يُتَأَجَّلُهُ»
