Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) embraced me to his chest and said: "O Allah! Teach him wisdom (Qur'an and Hadith)."

In another narration, (Abdul Warith bin Saeed says) that he said: "O Allah! Teach him the Book (Qur'an)."
