Why the Quran guys?
He asked him which
is more beloved to you that I start
with? Do I teach my son the Quran
or the hadith?
He says,
teach him the Quran
first.
Do I teach him all of it? He
said,
except if it becomes difficult.
You teach him some of it.
Okay?
He said,
Upon this, you find that the followers of
Imam Muhammad they
treaded this path.
They treaded this path until this very day.
And also in the Tarjama
of Ibn Abihaat,
Imam al Zabi mentions this in Kitafsira,
He says that his father
My father didn't allow me to busy myself
with hadith,
until I read the whole Quran on fatherly
Ibn Shaddan and Razi.
That's when I started writing
down
the Quran,
the Hadith.
Also Muhammad ibn father,
Rahimullah Ta'ala says,
my grandfather
I sought permission from my father
in order
to go and seek knowledge with Khutaybah.
He said, Read the Quran first until I
give you permission.
So he said I memorized the Quran
So when he was done memorizing the Quran,
he told him you can't leave until you
read.
Some of the scholars they say you know
a true habit of the Quran until you
are able to lead Taraweeh.
That shows your strength in the Quran.
And that you're a real hafel.
He said,
When 8 finished,
he allowed me to go.
Also something very very funny is, Waleed al
Muslim
said,
Every time we sat with Uzzai,
a great tabi'i, and he saw that there
was a young person with us.
Okay?
He said, Oh son,
have you memorized the Quran?
If he said to him yes, he would
tell him to read, you'll see
Who can tell him about his ayah? It's
one of the most difficult ayah in the
Quran.
2nd page of Surah Al Nisa.
Which talks about inheritance.
He put him on the spot and tell
him to read it. How you read?
Okay?
If he said, I didn't memorize the Quran.
He would say it in the Quran and
then start seeking knowledge.
