Chapter 7 | The Reward for Reading the Holy Quran

3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ مُسَافِرٍ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ الأسَدِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي صَلاتِهِ قَائِماً يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ فَإِذَا قَرَأَهَا فِي غَيْرِ صَلاةٍ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَإِنِ اسْتَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ حَسَنَةً وَإِنْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْلاً صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَإِنْ خَتَمَهُ نَهَاراً صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَفَظَةُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ دَعْوَةٌ مُجَابَةٌ وَكَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأرْضِ قُلْتُ هَذَا لِمَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ قَالَ يَا أَخَا بَنِي أَسَدٍ إِنَّ الله جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ كَرِيمٌ إِذَا قَرَأَ مَا مَعَهُ أَعْطَاهُ الله ذَلِكَ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam or others Sayf ‘Umayrah from a man from Jabir from Musafir from Bashir ibn Ghalib al-Asadi from al-Husayn ibn Ali who has said the following: “Al-Husayn ibn Ali has said, ‘Whoever reads from the Holy Quran in his prayer in a standing position, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him the reward for one hundred good deeds for each letter and if one reads from the Holy Quran without being in prayer, Allah writes down for him the reward for ten good deeds for each letter, and if one listens to the reading of the Holy Quran, Allah writes down for him the reward for one good deed for each letter. “If one completes reading the whole Quran at night, the angels pray for him until morning, and if he completes during the day the angels pray for him until night and his prayers are accepted. This is better for him than all that is between the heaven and earth.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘This is for one who reads the Holy Quran. What is for one who does not read?’ The Imam said, ‘O brother from bnu Asad, Allah is generous, glorious and magnanimous if one reads whatever he can, Allah will reward him.’”
