Abu Musa al-Ash’ari gathered those who had recited [ie. memorized] the Qur’an, and they were close to three hundred in number. He emphasized the magnificence of the Qur’an, and then said,
“Truly this Qur’an can be an asset for you, or it can be a burden upon you. So follow the Qur’an, and let it not follow you: for he who follows the Qur’an, it lands him in the Gardens of Paradise; and he whom the Qur’an follows, it smites him in the back of the head and hurls him into the Fire.”
