Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29106

Nasr bin Ali Al-Jahdhami narrated to us, he said, Al-Haytham bin Al-Rabi’ narrated to us, he said, Salih Al-Marri narrated to us, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Zurara bin More fully, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: A man said, “O Messenger of God, which work is most beloved to God.” He said, “The one who travels.” He said and what The one who is traveling said: “The one who recites from the beginning of the Qur’an to the end. Whenever he arrives, he travels.” Abu Issa said: This is a strange hadith. We know it from the hadith of Ibn Abbas except through this route, and its chain of transmission is not strong. Muhammad ibn Bashar narrated to us, he said Muslim narrated to us. Ibn Ibrahim, he said: Saleh Al-Marri told us, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Zurara ibn Awfa, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, something similar in its meaning, but he was not mentioned in it. On the authority of Ibn Abbas. Abu Issa said, and this, in my opinion, is more correct than the hadith of Nasr bin Ali, on the authority of Al-Haytham bin Al-Rabi’.
