حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى :" مَنْ عَلِمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ الْفَرَائِضَ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَهُ مَثَلُ الْبُرْنُسِ لَا وَجْهَ لَهُ، أَوْ : لَيْسَ لَهُ وَجْهٌ "

Abu Nu’aym told us, Ziyad bin Abi Muslim told us, on the authority of Abu Al-Khalil, he said: Abu Musa said: “Whoever taught the Qur’an and did not know obligatory duties, for his likeness is like a brocade without a face, or: it has no face.”
