He said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the Suffah, and said, "Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or to al-Aqiq and bring back from there two large-humped she-camels, without committing any sin or severing any tie of kinship?"We said, "Messenger of Allah, we would all love that."He said, "Then why does one of you not go to the mosque and learn or recite two verses from the Book of Allah ? That is better for him than two she-camels, three are better for him than three, four are better for him than four, and so on, however many camels you count."
قال خرج رسول الله ﷺ ونحن في الصفة، فقال: أيكم يحب أن يغدو كل يوم إلى بطحان أو إلى العقيق فيأتي منه بناقتين كوماوين، في غير إثم ولا قطع رحم؟ فقلنا: يا رسول الله نحب ذلك. قال: أفلا يغدو أحدكم إلى المسجد فيعلم أو يقرأ آيتين من كتاب الله عز وجل خير له من ناقتين، وثلاث خير له من ثلاث، وأربع خير له من أربع، ومن أعدادهن من الإبل.
