حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ نَجِيحٍ وَکَانَ ثِقَةً عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِتْيَانٌ حَزَاوِرَةٌ فَتَعَلَّمْنَا الْإِيمَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ تَعَلَّمْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَازْدَدْنَا بِهِ إِيمَانًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 61
It was narrated that Jundub bin ‘Abdullâh said: “We were with the Prophet(p.b.u.h) , and we were strong youths, so we learned faith before we learned the Qur’ân. Then we learned the Qur’ân and our faith increased thereby.” (Sahih)
