Authentic hadithNarrated by Ibn Majah

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) while we were young men close to maturity. We learned Imān (faith) before we learned the Qur’an; then we learned the Qur’an, and it increased us in faith

عن جندب بن عبد الله، قال: كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن فتيان حزاورة، فتعلمنا الإيمان قبل أن نتعلم القرآن، ثم تعلمنا القرآن، فازددنا به إيمانًا.

Explanation

Jundub ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) as young men near the age of puberty—strong and powerful. We learned faith at the hands of the Prophet (ﷺ) before learning the Qur’an. Then, when we learned the Qur’an, it increased our faith.
