[2419] 119 – (1050) It was narrated from Abü Harb bin AbI A1-Aswad that his father said: "Abü Müsa Al-Ash'arI was sent to the reciters of the people of A1-Basrah, and three hundred men who had memorized the Qur'ân entered upon him. He said: 'You are the best of the people of Al- Basrah and their reciters, so recite it, but do not let a long life cause your hearts to become hardened as did the hearts of those who came before you. We used to recite a Sarah which we likened in length and power to Sarah Baâ'ah (At-Tawbah), then I was caused to forget it, but I remember of it (the words): "If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth he would desire a third, but nothing will fill the belly of the son of Adam but dust." And we used to recite a Sarah which we likened to one of the Musabbihât, but I was caused to forget it, but I remember from it the words: "0 you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?"['] It will be written as a testimony on your necks, and you will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection." Chapter 40.
