28. It was narrated that Qarazah bin Ka'b said: "Umar bin Al-Khattâb sent us to Kufah, and he accompanied us as far as a place called Sirâr. He said: 'Do you know why I walked with you?' We said: 'Because of the rights of the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and because of the rights of the Ansâr.' He said: 'No, rather it is because of words that I wanted to say to you. I wanted you to memorize it due to my walking with you. You are going to people in whose hearts the Qur'an bubbles like water in a copper cauldron. When they see you, they will look up at you, saying: "The Companions of Muhammad!" But do not recite many reports from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, then I will be your partner.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
To be moved by the reading of the Qur'an and the melting of the heart by it, is the characteristic of a true believer, and the sign of the tenderness of the heart.
Along with the Qur'an, it is also essential that we acquire the knowledge of the Hadith since 'Umar ﷺ did not forbid to narrate the Hadith. He only forbade overdoing it.
While teaching, consideration should be given to the level of the students, and they should only be given at a time as much as they can easily take and digest.
Forbidding giving too much of Hadith at a time is also meant to keep alive the interest of the students in them, and make their lessons more fruitful.
