"To Abi Darda', indeed your brethren from the people of Kufa, from the people of knowledge, send you greetings of peace." He (Abi Darda') said: "And peace be upon them. Tell them to hold on tightly to the Qur'an with their teeth, for verily, it will lead them to righteousness and ease, and protect them from wrongdoing and distress." – Weak Chain

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ

لِأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الذِّكْرِ يُقْرِئُونَكَ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ «وَعَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُعْطُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِخَزَائِمِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَى الْقَصْدِ وَالسُّهُولَةِ وَيُجَنِّبُهُمُ الْجَوْرَ وَالْحُزُونَةَ» – إسناده ضعيف
