Mūsā narrated to us, from Wahb, from Dāwūd, on the authority of al-Shaʿbī, regarding the sale of Qur’an codices: he held that one does not sell the Book of Allah; the only thing being sold is the labor of one’s own hands.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى عَنْ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، فِي بَيْعِ الْمَصَاحِفِ، أَنَّهُ لَا يَبِيعُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَبِيعُ عَمَلَ يَدَيْهِ "
