It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best among you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it to others." Abu Abdur Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is on the basis of this (hadith) that I am sitting in this place (to teach the Qur'an to people)."
