In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani Covers hadiths ten to twelve from Imam Nabahani’s set of hadiths on the virtues of the Qur’an and its recitation. Hadith ten tells us about the great virtue of both the quality and quantity of one’s recitation, such that on the Day of Judgement the person of the Qur’an will be told, “Recite and rise”. In hadith eleven, we learn about the relationship between recitation of the Qur’an and dutifulness to one’s parents, and that this is something that one should strive to make part of their intention. Hadith twelve informs us about the protection granted to one who contains the Qur’an; Shaykh Faraz explains that this “containing” entails that the container itself be pure. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on venerating knowledge and its people from Imam Zarnuji’s “Instruction of the Student”. We learn about several etiquettes related to the writing of knowledge. In addition, we learn about the deep respect that one must have for their companion’s in seeking knowledge, the danger of envy in this affair, and how to overcome it.
