Notes

Uqbah bin ‘Amir said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out (from his house) and we were on the porch (As-ṣuffah). So he said: “Who of you would like to go out in the morning everyday to the valley of But-ḥan or Al-‘Aqiq and come back with two large she-camels without commiting any sin or severing any family ties?” We replied: “O Messenger of Allah! All of us would like this.” So he ﷺ said: “Would one of you not go to the Masjid and learn to recite two ayat from the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic? That would be better than two she-camels. And three ayat would be better for him than three she-camels. And four ayat would be better than four she-camels, and whatever their number may be of camels.
