Exaggerated Statement
About The Holy Qur'an
Whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said:
"Fast the most superior type of fasting (that is the fasting of (Prophet)
Dawud (peace be upon him). He was the greatest worshipper. Recite the whole
Qur'an in one month's time.'' I said, "But I have power (to do more than
that)."
Allah's Apostle (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) said, "Then finish the recitation of the whole
Qur'an in ten days' time." I said, 'But I have power (to do more than
that)." Allah's Apostle (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,
"Then finish the recitation of Qur'an in seven days, and do not finish it
in less than this period." Bukhari transmitted it.
'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ad (Allah be pleased
with him) reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
as saying: "Those who exceeded the prescribed limit were destroyed."
There is a marfu' tradition
reported by 'Abdur Rahman Ibn Shibli in Musnad of Imam Ahmad. He said:
Recite the Holy Qur'an and do not
indulge in exaggeration about it; and do not show faithlessness to the Holy
Qur'an; and do not make it a source of your livelihood.
Abu Rafi' (Allah be pleased with him)
reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as
saying: May I not see any person in such a state of carelessness that whenever
any order of mine whether positive or negative is communicated to him, he says:
I do not know, we shall follow only that which we find in the Book of Allah.
Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi transmitted it.
