What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever is occupied with the Qur'an from asking me, I will give him the best of what I give to the questioners”?

The questioner : He also asks about another hadith, O honorable Shaykh, which was reported:

Whoever is occupied with the Qur'an from asking Allah, Allah will give him the best of what He gives to the questioners

من شغله القرآن عن مسألة الله أعطاه الله أفضل ما يعطي السائلين

?

The Shaykh : Yes, this one is also weak

Whoever is too busy with the Qur'an for remembering Me and asking Me, then I shall give him more than what I give to those who ask.

إن شغله ذكري عن مسألتي أعطيته أفضل ما أعطي السائلين

.
Because asking Allah the Exalted is part of His worship, as Allah the Exalted said:

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

[Ghafir 40:60]

So a person is commanded to remember Allah and commanded to make supplication, and neither one suffices in place of the other.
