Chapter 2 | The Excellence of the Carriers of the Holy Quran
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَارِسِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي أَعْلَى دَرَجَةٍ مِنَ الآدَمِيِّينَ مَا خَلا النَّبِيِّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ فَلا تَسْتَضْعِفُوا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ حُقُوقَهُمْ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ مِنَ الله الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ لَمَكَاناً عَلِيّاً.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hassan ibn abu al-Husayn al-Farsi from Sulayman ibn Ja’far from his father al-Ja’fari from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: ‘‘The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘People of the Holy Quran are of the highest degree among men, except the prophets and the messengers of Allah, thus, you should not consider them weak in the matters of their rights; with Allah, the Most Majestic, the Almighty, they have a special status.’”
