Narrated Anas bin Malik: "There was a man from the Ansar who led them (in Salat) at Masjid Quba. Every time he was to recite a Surah for them during Salat, he would begin by reciting Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad until he finished, then he would recite another Surah with it. He did that in each Rak'ah. His companions talked to him and said: 'You recite this Surah. You should either recite it or leave it and recite another Surah.'" He said: "I shall not leave it, if you would like me to lead you with it then I shall do so, and if you do not like it then I shall leave you." And they considered him the best among them, and they did not like the idea of someone else leading them. So when the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to them they informed him about what had happened and he ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "O so-and-so! What prevents you from doing what your companions told you to do, why do recite this Surah in every Rak'ah" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I love it." So the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Your love for it shall have you admitted into Paradise."

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! I love this Surah, meaning «قل هو الله أحد» . He (the Prophet) said: "It is this very love and affection of yours for it that will lead you to Paradise."

Narrated 'Uqbah bin 'Amir Al-Juhani: that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Some Ayat have been revealed to me the likes of which have not been seen: Qul A'udhu Birabbin-Nas until the end of the Surah and Qul A'udhu Birabbil-Falaq until the end of the Surah."

Narrated 'Uqbah bin 'Amir: "The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ordered me to recite Al-Mu'awwidhatain at the end of every Salat."

Narrated 'Aishah: that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The one who recites the Qur'an and he is proficient with it, then he is with the noble and blessed Angels (As-Safaratil-Kiramil-Bararah), and the one who recites it" - Hisham said: "And it is hard for him" - Shu'bah said: "And it is difficult for him, - then he gets two rewards."

Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib: that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Whoever recites the Qur'an and memorizes it, making lawful what it makes lawful, and unlawful what it makes unlawful, Allah will admit him to Paradise due to it, and grant him intercession for ten of his family members who were to be consigned to the Fire."

Narrated Al-Harith Al-A'war: "I passed by the Masjid when the people were absorbed in story-telling. So I entered upon 'Ali and said: 'O Commander of the believers! Do you not see the people are becoming engrossed in story-telling?' He said: 'They have been consumed with it?' I said: "Yes.' He said: 'As for me, I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: "Indeed there comes a Fitnah" So I said: "What is the way out from it O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Allah's book. In it is news for what happened before you, and information about what comes after you, and judgement for what happens between you. It is the Criterion (between right and wrong) without jest. Whoever among the oppressive abandons it, Allah crushes him, and whoever seeks guidance from other than it, then Allah leaves him to stray. It is the firm rope of Allah, it is the wise remembrance, it is the straight path, and it is the one that the desires can not distort, nor can the tongues twist it, nor can the scholars ever have enough of it, and it shall not become dull from reciting it much, and the amazement of it does not diminish. It is the one that when the Jinns hear it, they did not hesitate to say about it: 'Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur'an)! 'It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein.' Whoever speaks according to it then he has said the truth, and whoever acts according to it he is rewarded, and whoever judges by it he has judged justly, and whoever invites to it then he guides to the straight path." Take this O A'war!'."

Narrated Abu 'Abdur-Rahman: from 'Uthman bin 'Affan that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it." Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: "So that is why I sit at this seat of mine." And he taught the Qur'an during the time of 'Uthman until Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf came. (Sahih)

Narrated 'Uthman [bin 'Affan] : that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The best of you - or the most virtuous of you - is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it."

Muhammad bin Bashar says: Likewise, Yahya bin Saeed mentioned this narration several times through Sufyan and Shubah, not just once, and both of them narrated it with the chain «عن علقمة بن مرثد عن سعد بن عبيدة عن أبي عبدالرحمٰن عن عثمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم» .

6- Muhammad bin Bashar says: The companions of Sufyan do not mention «عن سفيان عن سعد بن عبيدة» in this narration. Muhammad bin Bashar says: And this is more correct.

7- Shubah has added Saad bin Ubaidah in the chain of this hadith, so the hadith of Sufyan (who are contemporaries of Shubah) is more correct. Ali bin Abdullah (Ibn al-Madini) says: Yahya bin Saeed said that in my view, there is no one (trustworthy) equal to Shubah. And when Sufyan disagrees with him, I accept Sufyan’s statement.

8- I heard Abu Ammar mentioning through Wakee’: Shubah said: Sufyan has a stronger memory than me. (And the proof of this is that) Sufyan narrated something to me from a person, so I asked that person (directly) about it, and I found it exactly as Sufyan had narrated to me.

9- In this chapter, there are also ahadith from Ali and Saad.
