A Hadeeth about one's learning one verse of Quran

22-12-2005 | IslamWeb

Question:

I have to get one clarification regarding the authenticity one Hadeeth which is as follows:
If a person learn one verse of Quran (with understanding) it is better than offering 100 Raka'h Salah - Ibn Maajah Chapter 16:219. Expecting an early response from your end.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

Abu-Tharr may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "O Abu-Tharr, if you go to the mosque and learn a verse from the Book of Allaah, it would be better for you than performing one hundred Rak’as [units of prayer]."  [Ibn Maajah] This narration is considered by Al-Albaani may Allaah have mercy upon him as weak as he mentioned in many of his books. Moreover, Al-Bawsiri may Allaah have mercy upon him said: 'The chain of narrators in this narration is weak.'

Allaah Knows best.
