Ibn Mas'ud رضي اللّه عنـه used to say:
"Indeed,
this Qur'aan is the banquet of Allaah; so take from it as much as you can [i.e.
learn from it] for I know nothing more unworthy than a house in which there is
nothing of the word of Allaah. The heart which contains nothing of the word of Allaah,
goes to ruin like a house in which no one lives." - al-Darimi
