Hold Firmly to the Qur’an

وعن أبي شريح الخزاعي قال خرج علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم فقال أليس تشهدون أن لا إله إلا الله وأني رسول الله قالوا بلى قال إن هذا القرآن طرفه بيد الله وطرفه بأيديكم فتمسكوا به فإنكم لن تضلوا ولن تهلكوا بعده أبدا رواه الطبراني في الكبير بإسناد جيد (الترغيب والترهيب 1/95)

Hadhrat Abu Shurayh Al-Khuzaa’ee (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that on one occasion Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) came out and addressed the Sahaabah saying: “Do you not testify that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala and that I am the messenger of Allah Ta’ala?” The Sahaabah replied, “Most certainly we do testify.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Indeed this Qur’an is such that its one end is in the hand of Allah Ta’ala, and the other end is in your hands. Therefore firmly hold onto it, for certainly (as long as you firmly hold onto it) you will not go astray and will never be destroyed thereafter.”
