حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ هَارُونَ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَلْبًا وَقَلْبُ الْقُرْآنِ يس وَمَنْ قَرَأَ يس كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِقِرَاءَتِهَا قِرَاءَةَ الْقُرْآنِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَبِالْبَصْرَةِ لاَ يَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَهَارُونُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ شَيْخٌ مَجْهُولٌ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، بِهَذَا ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَلاَ يَصِحُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِسْنَادِهِ إِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ ‏.‏ وَ فِي البَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيرَةَ

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Anas reported that the Prophet said, ‘Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Ya-Sin. Whoever recites Ya-Sin, Allah records for him, for its recitation, the reward of reciting the Qur’an ten times.’ Abu ‘Isa said this is a gharib hadith, known only through the report of Humayd ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman; in Basra they knew it from Qatadah only through this route. Harun Abu Muhammad is an unknown narrator. Abu Musa Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna also related it through Ahmad ibn Sa‘id al-Darimi, from Qutaybah, from Humayd ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman. A report from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq is also cited, but Abu ‘Isa says it is unsound due to its chain, which is weak. A report from Abu Hurayrah is also mentioned on this topic.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • This is a weakly supported report: Abu ‘Isa explicitly says Harun Abu Muhammad is unknown and that the Abu Bakr version is weak and unsound. The Arabic says Allah records a reward equivalent to reciting the Qur’an ten times.
