Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ عِنَانٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ : أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ :" إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَتَّسِعُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْضُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَكْثُرُ خَيْرُهُ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ، وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَضِيقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَتَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَقِلُّ خَيْرُهُ، أَنْ لَا يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ "

English Translation

It was narrated from Hafs ibn 'Inan al-Hanafi that Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "A house in which the Quran is recited becomes spacious for its inhabitants, the angels attend it, the devils abandon it, and its good increases. A house in which the Quran is not recited becomes cramped for its inhabitants, the angels abandon it, the devils attend it, and its good diminishes."
