حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ بِلَالًا قَالَ لِأَبِي بَکْرٍ إِنْ کُنْتَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتَنِي لِنَفْسِکَ فَأَمْسِکْنِي وَإِنْ کُنْتَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتَنِي لِلَّهِ فَدَعْنِي وَعَمَلَ اللَّهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3756
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once the Prophet embraced me (pressed me to his chest) and said, "O Allah, teach him wisdom (i.e. the understanding of the knowledge of Qur'an). Narrated 'Abdul Warith: The same but said, "O Allah, teach him (Ibn Abbas) the Book (i.e. the understanding of the knowledge of Qur'an)." Narrated Khalid:As above.
