Sunan Ibn Majah 213
حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَبْهَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " خِيَارُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ " . قَالَ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَقْعَدَنِي مَقْعَدِي هَذَا أُقْرِئُ .
Azhar ibn Marwan reported to us: al-Harith ibn Nabhan reported to us: Asim ibn Bahdalah reported to us, from Musab ibn Sad, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘The best of you is whoever learns the Quran and teaches it.’ Then he took me by the hand and sat me down in this place so that I could teach.’
Translation notes
The source ends with the narrator explaining that Musab took his hand and seated him where he taught recitation.
