Hadhrat Uqbah ibn Aamir (Radhiyallaho anho) has said: "Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came to us while we were sitting on the Suffah and asked if any one of us would like to go to the market of But-haam or Aqeeq and fetch from there tow she-camels of the finest breed without commiting any sin or severing a tie of kinship. We replied that everyone of us would love to do so. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) then said that going to the musjid and reciting or teaching two ayaat of the Qur'an is more precious than two she-camels, three ayaat are most precious than three she-camels, and that similarly reciting or teaching of four ayaat is better than four she-camels and an equal number of camels."..........continue

Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed ( Radhiyallaho anho)
In other words, compared to those who are begging favours of Allah. He will surely confer som better reward on a person who remains so occupid with committing the Qur'an to memory or learnig and understanding it that he hardly gets time for du'a (prayer).
It is commonly known that when a man distributes sweets, or something else amongst others, a share is set aside for the person who cannot attend the function because of the task of distribution given to him by the distributor himself. In another hadith, in the same context, it is mentioned that Allah would give such a person a better reward than what He would give to His ever grateful servants.

Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed ( Radhiyallaho anho)
Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed ( Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that Rasulullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said:"Almighty Allah says; "If anyboody finds no time for My remembrance and for begging favours of Me, because of his remaining busy with the Holy Qur'an, I shall give him more than what I give to all those who beg favours of Me. The superiority of the Word of Allah over all other words is like the superiority of Allah over the entire creation."

Mulla Ali Qari quotes from another hadith that whoerer acquires the knowledge of Holy Qur'an stores the knowledge of prophethood in his forehead. Sahl Tastari (Rahmatullah alaih) says that the proof of love for Allah is the existence of love for the Word of Allah in one's heart.
In 'Sharhul Ihya', the list of people who will be given shelter in the shade of the Arsh (Throne of Allah) on the fearful Day of Judgement includes those persons who teach the Qur'an to the children of Muslims and also those who learn the Holy Qur'an in their childhood and are devoted to its recitation when grown up.

The Qur'an is the basis of the religion of Islam, and on the preservation and propagation of the Qur'an depends the very existence of this faith. Hence the virtue of learning and teaching the Qur'an is self-evident and does not need further elucidation.
There are,however,various degrees of excellence. The highest is to learn the Qur'an along with its meanings and purport, and the least is to learn its words only.
The hadith mentioned above is supported also by another saying of Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) as reported by Hadhrat Sa'eed ibn Saleem (Radhiyallaho anho):" If a person who has acquired knowledge of the Holy Qur'an considers another person who has been gifted with something else to be more fortunate than himself, he has shown disrespect to the blessings of Allah bestowed on him on account of his learning the Qur'an." It is evident that since the Qur'an, being the Word of Allah, is superior to all other discourses as mentioned in some of the ahadith quoted later, its reading and teachi
ng must be superior to everything else. Continue.............................

HADITH - No: 1
Hadhrat Uthman (Radhiyallaho anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said:"The best amongst you is he who learns the Qur'an and teacher it." In most of the books,this hadith is quoted with the word'and' between 'learns' and 'teaches' as above. Thus the greatest reward would be for him who learns the Holy Qur'an and thereafter teaches it to others. But in some of the books this 'hadith's is narrated with the word 'or', in which case the meaning would be:" The best amongst you is he who learns the Qur'an or teaches it."
According to this version, the reward is general, i,e...equally great whether one learns himself or teaches to others. Thus there would be equal virtue for both. Continue............1

Hadhrat Asma (Radhiyallaho anha's) Spending in Charity.
Hadhrat Asma (Radhiyallaho anha) had a very large heart for Spending in the path of Allah. In the beginnig, she used to spend carefully with measure and weight. Once the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said to her:
"O,Asma,do not put by and be calculating;spend in the path of Allah liberally."
After this,she stared spending most generously. She would advise her daughters and house maids:
"Don't wait for any surplus or excess of requirements before spending in the path of Allah. As the requirements go on increasing in the chances of having some thing, excess will become more and more remote, and the time for spending in the path of Allah will never come. Remember that you will not lose by spending in charity."
Although these people were poor and lived hand to mouth, yet they were liberal in spending and generous of heart. The Muslims today complain of their poverty, but there will be hardly and group op people among them who are so poor and needy as the Sahabah used to be. We have already read how they had to go without food for several days together, and how some of them had to keep stones tied on their bellies to relive their pangs of hunger.
