Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 5, Hadith 46

It was
narrated that Ibn Ukaimah said: “I heard Abu Hurairah say: ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in a prayer; we think it was the Subh. He said: “Did anyone among you recite?” A man said: “I did.” He said: “I was saying to myself, what is wrong with me that someone is fighting to wrest the Qur’an from me?”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلاَةً نَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الصُّبْحُ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ هَلْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sahih (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by Ibn Majah in the 9th century, the Sunan is a respected collection that completes the list of the Kutub al-Sittah, the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islam. It contains an estimated 4,000 narrations that comprehensively cover the spectrum of Islamic life, including issues of doctrine, law, morality, and society. A key point of discussion among scholars is its comparative authenticity. It is often noted that this collection includes a subset of narrations that are classified as weak or da’if, which are largely absent from the more stringent compilations like the two Sahihs. Therefore, while it is an essential resource, its usage often requires additional verification.
