ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from al-Muʿalla— a man from Kindah— from So-and-so ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, who said:
ʿAbd Allah said, “This Quran is an intercessor whose intercession will be accepted and a prosecutor whose case will be believed. Whoever places it before him, it will lead him to Paradise; and whoever places it behind his back, it will drive him into the Fire.”
٨٤٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى - رَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ عَنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ شَافِعٌ مُشَفَّعٌ وَمَاحِلٌ مُصَدِّقٌ، فَمَنْ جَعَلَهُ أَمَامَهُ قَادَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ جَعَلَهُ خَلْفَهُ سَاقَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ "
