حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ عَنْ بَکْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِهِ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَلْقَتَيْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يَقْرَئُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالْأُخْرَی يَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلٌّ عَلَی خَيْرٍ هَؤُلَائِ يَقْرَئُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ فَإِنْ شَائَ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ شَائَ مَنَعَهُمْ وَهَؤُلَائِ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 229
It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H came out of one of his apartments one day and entered the Masjid, where he saw two circles, one reciting Qur’ân and supplicating to Allah, and the other learning and teaching. The Prophet P.B.U.H said: ‘Both of them are good. These people are reciting Qur’ân and supplicating to Allah, and if He wills He will give them, and if He wills He will withhold from them. And these people are learning and teaching. Verily I have been sent as a teacher.’ Then he sat down with them.” (Da’if)
