Honouring Those Who Carry the Quran

Hasan
Sunan Abu Dawud · 4843·Narrated by Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)

إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللَّهِ إِكْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرِ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَالْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِكْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ

Transliteration

Inna min ijlalillahi ikramu dhish-shaybatil-muslimi wa hamilil-Qur'ani ghayral-ghali fihi wal-jafi 'anhu wa ikramu dhis-sultanil-muqsit

Translation

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Indeed, from the exaltation due to Allah is honouring an aged Muslim, honouring the one who carries the Quran without going to extremes in it or abandoning it, and honouring a just ruler.'
