وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا} الْقِرَاءَةُ وَالْعَرْضُ عَلَى الْمُحَدِّثِ. وَرَأَى الْحَسَنُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَالِكٌ الْقِرَاءَةَ جَائِزَةً، وَاحْتَجَّ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ بِحَدِيثِ ضِمَامِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». قَالَ فَهَذِهِ قِرَاءَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَ ضِمَامٌ قَوْمَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَأَجَازُوهُ. وَاحْتَجَّ مَالِكٌ بِالصَّكِّ يُقْرَأُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَيَقُولُونَ أَشْهَدَنَا فُلاَنٌ. وَيُقْرَأُ ذَلِكَ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيُقْرَأُ عَلَى الْمُقْرِئِ فَيَقُولُ الْقَارِئُ أَقْرَأَنِي فُلاَنٌ. حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ. وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرَبْرِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ إِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَى الْمُحَدِّثِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ حَدَّثَنِي. قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَاصِمٍ يَقُولُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَسُفْيَانَ الْقِرَاءَةُ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ وَقِرَاءَتُهُ سَوَاءٌ. [تحفة 18529، 18761 أ، 19246 أ].And the Statement of Allah تعالى: "And say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge." (V.20:114) To recite or read (something) and present it in front of a scholar. Al-Hasan and al-Thauri and Malik consider such reciting permissible, and some of them have deduced (the sanction for) reciting (a hadith) before the teacher from the hadith of Dimam ibn Tha‘labah who said to the Prophet ﷺ: “Has Allah commanded you that we should say prayers?” He (the Prophet) said: “Yes.” He (Dimam) said: “So this was reciting before the Prophet ﷺ.” Dimam reported this to his people, so they considered it permissible. And Malik deduced it from documents which were read to the people, so they used to say: “So and so have made us witness (to this document).” And it is read out before the teacher, so that the reader will say: “So and so has made me to read it.” Al-Hasan (al-Basri) reported: “There is no harm in reciting (a hadith) before the teacher.” ‘Ubaidullah ibn Musa narrated to us from Sufyan: “When one recites (a hadith) before a narrator of hadith there is no harm if he says that ‘he (the latter) narrated it to me’.” He (al-Hasan) said: “And I heard Abu ‘Asim reporting from Malik and Sufyan: ‘Reciting before the teacher is the same as the latter reciting it’.”
