Note 1

The best among you...

(1) The statement: "The best among you..." If it is asked: Which is better—learning the Qur’an or learning Fiqh (jurisprudence)? The answer is: The one occupied with Fiqh is better. This depends on a person’s need, because Fiqh is superior to mere recitation. However, in the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), the reciter was the most knowledgeable in Fiqh, which is why the reciter led the prayer. This is mentioned in ‘Umdat al-Qari’.

قوله

(۱) قوله : خيركم إلخ فإن قلت: أيهما أفضل ؟ تعلم القرآن أو تعلم الفقه ؟ قلت: المتشاغل بالفقه أفضل. ذلك راجع إلى حاجة الإنسان؛ لأن الفقه أفضل من القراءة، وإنما كان القارئ في زمن النبي الله هو الأفقه، فلذلك قام القارئ في الصلاة. قاله في عمدة القاري».
