The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah at all times Is this what you have been ordered with? That you set the Book of Allah against itself? The people before you were only ruined when they differed about this matter. You have nothing to do with what was going on here. See what I commanded you to do, and observe it and act upon it, and what I forbade you to do, desist from it Do not argue about the Qur’an, for arguing about it constitutes disbelief they would listen to ten verses from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and not move to the next ten verses until they learned the knowledge and application contained therein The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Recite the Qur’an to me. I said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I recite it to you while it has been revealed to you? He replied: I love to hear it being recited by others He stood such that the Ka‘bah was on his left and Mina was on his right then he said: This is the standing place of the one to whom Sūrat al-Baqarah was revealed It was mentioned in the letter that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent to ‘Amr ibn Hazm that no one should touch the Qur'an unless he is pure Ibn ‘Abbās and Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah were asked: Did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) leave anything? They said: He did not leave anything except what is between the two bindings ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Do you have any of the revelation, other than what is in Allah's Book? He said: No, by Him Who grows the grain and originates the soul, I have nothing other than the understanding of the Qur'an, which Allah bestows upon some people, and what is written in this sheet Recite the Qur’an as long as your hearts are harmonious, but if you diverge, then move away from it I fear two things for my Ummah: the Qur’an and milk. As for milk, they seek the countryside, follow desires, and neglect the prayers. As for the Qur’an, the hypocrites learn it to argue with the believers by means of it
