Virtues of The Quran


Hadhrat Abdullah bin Masood Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrates that The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Whoever reads one letter of the Qur’an receives the reward of one good deed. And one good deed is multiplied ten times.

(Kanzul Ummaal)
Uthman Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrated that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “The best of you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.”
(Bukhari)
Uqbah bin Amir Radiyallahu ‘anhu reported that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Will not any of you go to the Musjid and learn or read two verses from the Book of Allah (For) that is better for him than two she-camels, and three (verses) are better for him than three (she-camels), and four (verses) are better for him than four (she-camels). And the number (of verses read in total) is better than the same
number of camels.”
(Muslim)
It is narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “There is no envy (acceptable) except in two (cases): a person whom Allah has given the Qur’an and recites it throughout the night and thorughout the day. And a person whom Allah has given wealth, that he gives throughout the night and throughout the day.”
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Ibn Masud Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will receive a hasanah (good deed) from it (i.e. his recitation), and the hasanah is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem is (considered as) a letter, rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.”
(Tirmidhi, Darimi)
It is narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “He who is skillful in reciting the Qur’an is with the unveiled, honorable, and pious, and he who stutters when reading the Qur’an, and its recitation is difficult upon him, will receive two rewards.”
(Bukhari)
It is reported that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Verily he who has nothing of the Qur’an in his heart, is like a house (which has been) destroyed.”
(Tirmidhi)
Abu Umama Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Read the Qur’an. For verily it will come forth on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its readers.”
(Muslim)
It is narrated that the Prophet Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “The Qur’an is an intercessor (which by Allah’s permission) intercedes and an opponent (which is) truthful. He who appoints it as his leader, (then it) will lead him to Paradise. And he who puts it behind him, (then it) will lead him to the Fire.”
(Bayhaqi)
`Abdullah ibn `Amr Radiyallahu ‘anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam, said: “The fast and the Qur’an are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: ‘O Lord, I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him. The Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him.’ And their
intercession will be accepted.”
(Ahmad)
It is narrated by Abu Musa that the Prophet Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Maintain learning the Qur’an, by heart for verily it is greater in escaping from the chests of men than camels from their reins.”
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Umar bin Al-khattab Radiyallahu ‘anhu narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: “Verily Allah raises nations by this book (the Qur’an) and puts down (i.e. destroys) others by it.”
(Muslim)
