Chapter 1: The Order to Be In Wudu (When Touching the Qur'an)

Muwatta Malik 479

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm that in a letter that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to Amr ibn Hazm it said that no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي، كَتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ ‏"‏ أَنْ لاَ يَمَسَّ الْقُرْآنَ إِلاَّ طَاهِرٌ.
