What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever takes a bow in exchange for teaching the Qur’an, Allah will put a bow of the Fire of Hell around his neck in its place”?

Question:
Umm Muhammad says about herself: I am a woman who teaches the Noble Qur’an in Qur’an memorization schools, and praise be to Allah for that. I am paid a reward for this work. . Is this hadith authentic? And is it permissible for me to take this reward or not? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This hadith has a defect in its chain of narration, and Allah knows best. The authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that when a group of his Companions came to him, they had recited over a man who was afflicted with a skin disease, and they had stipulated a flock of sheep from him. So they recited over him and Allah cured him. They took the flock and came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He approved their action and said: “The most deserving thing for which you should take a wage is the Book of Allah.” He ordered that a share be struck out for him among them, meaning he participated with them in this, in order to reassure them of its permissibility and the validity of what they had done. This hadith is authentic, so there is no harm in taking a wage for teaching the Qur’an, or for teaching other sciences. However, the best is for one who has what suffices him not to take a wage, but to consider this a means of drawing near to Allah the Exalted and Majestic. As for one who is in need and has nothing to spend on himself or his children, there is no harm in taking what helps him to devote himself to teaching the Book of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
