حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِهِ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَلْقَتَيْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالأُخْرَى يَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " كُلٌّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ هَؤُلاَءِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُمْ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُمْ وَهَؤُلاَءِ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا " . فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ .

Bishr ibn Hilāl al-Ṣawwāf narrated to us: Dāwūd ibn al-Zubirqān narrated to us, from Bakr ibn Khunays, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, who said: One day the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, came out of one of his rooms and entered the mosque. He found two circles: one was reciting the Quran and supplicating to God, and the other was learning and teaching. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Both are engaged in good. These people recite the Quran and supplicate to God; if He wills, He gives them, and if He wills, He withholds from them. These people learn and teach, and I was sent only as a teacher.” Then he sat with them.
