حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ قَابُوسِ بْنِ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed, the one who does not have the Qur'an inside him (his heart), is like the ruined house."
Narrated by Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Context

Modern Application

In today's fast-paced world, making time to read and reflect on the Qur'an can enrich our lives and provide spiritual grounding. Engaging with the Qur'an regularly can help individuals find purpose and clarity amidst daily challenges.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Quran and Divine Revelation because it highlights the significance of the Qur'an in a believer's heart and life.
