Hadith #2119Ungraded
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ :" مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ، فَلْيَتَعَلَّمْ الْفَرَائِضَ، فَإِنْ لَقِيَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، قَالَ : يَا مُهَاجِرُ، أَتَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ فَإِنْ قَالَ : نَعَمْ، قَالَ : تَفْرِضُ؟ فَإِنْ قَالَ : نَعَمْ، فَهُوَ زِيَادَةٌ وَخَيْر، وَإِنْ قَالَ : لَا، قَالَ : فَمَا فَضْلُكَ عَلَيَّ يَا مُهَاجِرُ؟ !
It was narrated from Abu 'Ubayda, from Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: 'Whoever reads the Quran, let him also learn the obligatory shares of inheritance. If a Bedouin meets him and says: O Muhajir, do you read the Quran? If he says yes, he will ask: Do you know the laws of inheritance? If he says yes, that is more and better for him. But if he says no, the Bedouin will say: Then what virtue do you have over me?'
