Recite and Ascend": The Priority of Quranic Memorization in Islamic Education
First Memorize the Quran, then the Mutoon (Because, “Recite and Ascend”)Ibn Juraij (rahimahullah) reported:
I came to ‘Ataa (ibn Abi Rabah) (rahimahillah) seeking to study hadith with him
and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Umayr (rahimahullah) was with him.
‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Ubayd (rahimahullah) asked me:
“Have you read (i.e., memorized) the Quran?”
I said: “No.”
He said “Go and memorize the Qur’an (first) and then seek this knowledge.”
[al-Khatib al-Bagdadi (rahimahullah), Tarikh Bagdad, 12/142]
