حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيٍّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، يَقُول : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" تَعَلَّمُوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَتَعَاهَدُوهُ، وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ وَاقْتَنُوهُ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَوْ : فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِن الْمَخَاضِ فِي الْعُقُلِ "
Wahb bin Jarir told us, Musa, meaning Ibn Ali, told us, he said: I heard my father, he said: I heard Uqba bin Amir, saying: The Messenger of God said: May God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “Learn the Book of God and adhere to it, and sing of it and acquire it. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul.” Or: “By the One in whose hand is my soul.” Muhammad in his hand is more escaping than labor in the mind.”
