Hadith #329
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَ
ى بُطْحَانَ أَوْ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْتِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ فَيَأْخُذَهُمَا فِي غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ وَلَا قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ قَالَ قُلْنَا كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ

English Translation
ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir al-Juhanī narrated: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us one day while we were in the Ṣuffah and said: "Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buṭḥān or al-ʿAqīq and bring two large-humped, fine she-camels, taking them without sin or severing ties of kinship?" We said: "All of us would love that, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "For one of you to go to the mosque and learn two verses from the Book of Allah is better for him than two she-camels. And three are better than three, and four are better than four, and their equivalent number of camels."
