Traduction non vérifiée

2. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Nadr bin Suwayd, from Yahya al-Halabi, from Muhammed bin Marwan, from Sa’d bin Tareef, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: The one who recites ten verses at a night, will not be written to be among the unaware. The one who recites fifty verses, will be written to be among the remembering. The one who recites a hundred verses, will be written to be among the performers of qunut. The one who recites two hundred verses, will be written to be among the devoted. The one who recites three hundred verses, will be written to be among the winners. The one who recites five hundred verses, will be written to be among the diligent. The one who recites a thousand verses, to him it will be written a kantar. A kantar is five thousand mithqal [1] of gold. One mithqal is twenty four carats, of which the smallest is like Mount Uhud, and of which the biggest is (like that which is) between the Heaven and earth.

IsnādMuhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid nous a informés, que Dieu lui fasse miséricorde, a dit: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar nous a informés, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de Husayn ibn Sa'id, de al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, de Yahya al-Halabi, de Muhammad ibn Marwan, de Sa'd ibn Tarīf, d'Abu Ja'far, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit: Le Messager de Dieu, que la paix et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur lui, a dit:

Celui qui récite dix versets dans une nuit ne sera pas inscrit parmi les négligents, et celui qui récite cinquante versets sera inscrit parmi ceux qui se souviennent, et celui qui récite cent versets sera inscrit parmi les pieux, et celui qui récite deux cents versets sera inscrit parmi les humbles, et celui qui récite trois cents versets sera inscrit parmi les victorieux, et celui qui récite cinq cents versets sera inscrit parmi les diligents, et celui qui récite mille versets aura inscrit pour lui un quintal. Et le quintal équivaut à cinq mille mesures d'or, et la mesure est de vingt-quatre carats, la plus petite étant comme la montagne d'Uhud et la plus grande remplissant l'espace entre le ciel et la terre.
