                               In another hadith, the Prophet (saas) stated that the Qur'an was the
                         word of Allah:
                               "Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots
                               of the hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Qur'an
                               was revealed and the people read the Qur'an, (and learned from
                               it) and also learned it from the Sunnah. Both Qur'an and
                               Sunnah strengthened their (the faithful believers') honesty." 41

                         the Qur'an:
                               "Acquire the knowledge and impart it to the people. Learn the
                               Qur'an and teach it to the people; for I am a person who has
                                  to depart this world." 42
