It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: In the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to recite these verses: {لَوْ کَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِیَانِ مِنْ ذَہَبٍ وَفِضَّۃٍ لَابْتَغٰی إِلَیْہِمَا آخَرَ۔ وَلَا یَمْلَأُ بَطْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ۔ وَیَتُوبُ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مَنْ تَابَ} If the son of Adam possesses two valleys of gold and silver, he will seek a third one; nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and whoever turns to Allah in repentance, Allah accepts his repentance.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked a question. You (may Allah be pleased with him) sometimes looked at his head and sometimes at his feet to see if there was any sign of poverty on him. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How much wealth do you have? He said: Forty camels. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth: {لَوْ کَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِیَانِ مِنْ ذَہَبٍ لَابْتَغٰی الثَّالِثَ، وَلَا یَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَیَتُوبُ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مَنْ تَابَ} … If the son of Adam had two valleys of gold, he would seek a third; nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and whoever repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What is this? I said: Yes, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) taught me in this way. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us and went to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: What does this Ibn Abbas say? He replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me these verses in this way. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then should I keep them as they are? So he kept them as they were.

. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was never as grieved as he was over the army of the reciters. Regarding them, these verses were revealed: {بَلِّغُوا قَوْمَنَا عَنَّا أَ نَّا قَدْ رَضِینَا وَرَضِیَ عَنَّا} … Convey this message to our people that we are pleased with Allah and He is pleased with us. Someone asked Sufyan: About whom were these verses revealed? He said: They were revealed about the people of Bi’r Ma‘unah.

. (Second chain) Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We used to recite in the Qur’an: {بَلِّغُوا عَنَّا قَوْمَنَا وَإِنَّا قَدْ لَقِینَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِیَ عَنَّا وَأَ رْضَانَا} … Convey this message to our people from us that we have met our Lord, so He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased. Then these verses were abrogated.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever speaks about the Noble Qur’an without knowledge, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: He it is Who has sent down to you the Book; in it are verses that are clear and precise—they are the foundation of the Book—and others are ambiguous. As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow that which is ambiguous from it, seeking discord and seeking its interpretation. But no one knows its interpretation except Allah. And those firm in knowledge say: "We believe in it; all is from our Lord." And none take heed except those of understanding. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you see those who argue about the Qur'an, they are the very people who cause discord, about whom Allah Almighty has said to beware of them.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I fear for my Ummah regarding the Book and milk. He was asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the matter with the Book? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The hypocrite also learns it, then argues with the believers through it. Then someone asked: What is the matter with milk? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People will go out to the valleys to drink milk and will separate from the congregation and will abandon Jumu’ah.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The destruction of my Ummah will be caused by the Book and milk." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the Book and milk?" He replied: "People will learn the Holy Qur'an and will interpret it with incorrect explanations other than the purpose for which Allah Almighty revealed it, and they will become occupied with tending livestock, moving to the villages, and will abandon the congregation and Friday (prayer)."

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am concerned about two things for my Ummah: the Noble Qur’an and milk. People will seek greenery and pastures, will follow their desires, will abandon prayers, and hypocritical people will learn the Noble Qur’an and use it as a means to argue with the believers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting waiting for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he came out to us from the house of one of his wives. We stood up with him. His sandal broke, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed behind to repair it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued walking and we walked with him. Then he stood waiting for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and we also stood with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some of you will fight according to the interpretation and explanation of this Noble Qur'an, just as I have fought. We raised our necks to see, for among us were also Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather it is this man, the one repairing the sandal. So we went to give glad tidings to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but it was as if he had already heard the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (so he did not express happiness).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer at night and enter into prayer, he would say "Allahu Akbar" three times, "La ilaha illallah" three times, and "Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi" three times, then he would recite: "A‘udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim min hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi."
