The Ruling on the Hadith: (Take from the Qur'an . . )

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message reached us from Iraq, Baghdad, al-Mada'in, from Ali al-Akidi, in which he says: What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
Take from the Qur'an what you wish, for what you wishخذ من القرآن ما شئت لما شئت
?
Answer: I do not know this hadith, and I do not believe it is authentic. The Qur'an is the speech of Allah . It is incumbent upon the believer to increase in its recitation, and likewise the believing woman should increase in its recitation, with reflection, understanding, and action. This is based on the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ
[Surah Sad: 29], and His saying, the Exalted:
Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitableإِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ
[Surah al-Isra: 9], and His saying, (peace and blessings be upon him) :
Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure."قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ
[Surah Fussilat: 44], and His saying, (peace be upon him) :
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?أَفَلا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا
[Surah Muhammad: 24].
The Book of Allah contains guidance and light. It is incumbent upon all believers, men and women, to care for this great Book, reciting it, reflecting on it, understanding it, and acting upon it, by night and by day, and at all times. As for the phrase:
Take from the Qur'an what you wish, for what you wishخذ من القرآن ما شئت لما شئت
, I do not know of its authenticity. However, if it is interpreted to mean: take from it the cure, recite it over the sick person, and treat the sick person with it, there is no harm in that, for Allah has made it a healing. But if another meaning is intended, we do not know of any basis for it in this report. We do not know of any basis for this report. We may review it and seek its source, and we will clarify this in another session, if Allah wills. It is necessary to search for it, if Allah wills. Yes.
