[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever recites the Quran has indeed brought himself closer to prophethood, though he does not receive revelation. It is not appropriate for the companion of the Quran to associate with those who cut off ties, nor to remain ignorant when others are ignorant. The words of Allah, the Most High, are within his chest.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَدِ اسْتَدَرَجَ النُّبُوَّةَ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ يَحِدَّ مَعَ مَنْ حَدَّ وَلَا يَجْهَلَ مَعَ مَنْ جَهِلَ وَفِي جَوْفِهِ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The one who memorized the Qur'an shall come on the Day of Judgement and (the reward for reciting the Qur'an) says: 'O Lord! Decorate him." So he is donned with a crown of nobility. Then it says: "O Lord! Give him more!' So he is donned with a suit of nobility. Then it says: "O Lord! Be pleased with him.' So He is pleased with him and says: "Recite and rise up, and be increased in reward with every Ayah.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2915)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَجِيءُ صَاحِبُ الْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ الْقُرْآنُ يَا رَبِّ حَلِّهِ فَيُلْبَسُ تَاجَ الْكَرَامَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ زِدْهُ يَا رَبِّ ارْضَ عَنْهُ فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ وَيُقَالُ لَهُ اقْرِهِ وَارْقَهْ وَيَزْدَادُ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ حَسَنَةً «»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "On the Day of Judgment, it will be said to the companion of the Quran: 'Recite, rise in status and recite with a melodious voice as you used to recite in the worldly life. Indeed, your rank will be at the very last verse you recite.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يُقَالُ لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اقْرَهْ وَارْقَهْ وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَتَكَ فِي آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَؤُهَا»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: The first book was revealed through one door and on one letter. The Quran was revealed through seven doors and on seven letters, commanding and prohibiting, declaring lawful and unlawful, with unambiguous verses and ambiguous verses, and examples. So make lawful what it permits, and prohibit what it forbids, and do what you are commanded to do, and refrain from what you are prohibited from, and consider its examples, and follow its unambiguous verses, and believe in its ambiguous verses, and say, "We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَزَلَ الْكِتَابُ الْأَوَّلُ مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حَرْفٍ وَاحِدٍ وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْوَابٍ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ زَاجِرًا وَآمِرًا وَحَلَالًا وَحَرَامًا وَمُحْكَمًا وَمُتَشَابِهًا وَأَمْثَالًا فَأَحِلُّوا حَلَالَهُ وَحَرِّمُوا حَرَامَهُ وَافْعَلُوا مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ وَانْتَهُوا عَمَّا نُهِيتُمْ عَنْهُ وَاعْتَبِرُوا بَأَمْثَالِهِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِمُحْكَمِهِ وَآمِنُوا بِمُتَشَابِهِهِ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "Hold fast to this Quran, for it is more eloquent and detailed than the chests of men in relation to their camels, and none of you should say, 'I have forgotten a verse,' instead, it is a case of being made to forget."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَعَاهَدُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ وَحْشِيٌّ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ مِنْ عُقُلِهَا وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ بَلْ هُوَ نُسِّيَ»  

[Machine] "He used to recite while sitting on the porch of his house, and he had a beautiful voice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said, 'I heard you reciting while something like a cloud overshadowed you, and there was a woman in the house and a horse in the yard, so I feared that the woman would fall and the horse would run away. So I left.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Continue reciting, O master, for it was an angel who was listening to the Quran.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ حَسَنُ الصَّوْتِ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيْنَا أقْرَأُ إِذْ غَشِيَنِي شَيْءٌ كَالسَّحَابِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَالْفَرَسُ فِي الدَّارِ فَتَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ تَسْقُطَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَتَنْفَلِتَ الْفَرَسُ فَانْصَرَفْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ يَا أُسَيْدُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَلَكٌ اسْتَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ»  

[Machine] "That Usayd ibn Hudayr came to the Prophet ﷺ and recited the Hadith in its manner and said in it, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Recite, Usayd, recite, Usayd, for indeed, that is an angel who listens to the Quran.'"  

أَنَّ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ أُسَيْدُ اقْرَأْ أُسَيْدُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَلَكٌ يَسْتَمِعُ الْقُرْآنَ»  

[Machine] He said, "While I was reciting Surah Al-Baqarah tonight, when I reached its end, I heard a noise from behind me and thought that my horse was being released. He said, 'Recite, O Abu 'Atiq,' and I turned around, and behold, there were lamps suspended between the heavens and the earth." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I am not capable of continuing." He said, "Those are the angels who have descended to listen to the recitation of the Quran. Surely if you had continued, you would have seen wonders."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى آخِرِهَا سَمِعْتُ وَجْبَةً مِنْ خَلْفِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ فَرَسِي تُطْلَقُ فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ أَبَا عَتِيكٍ وَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيحِ مُدَلَّاةٌ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَمْضِيَ قَالَ فَقَالَ «تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ نَزَلَتْ لِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Fasting and the Quran will intercede for the servant on the Day of Resurrection: Fasting will say, 'O Lord, I prevented him from food and desires during the day, so let me intercede for him.' The Quran will say. 'O Lord, I prevented him from sleeping during the night, so let me intercede for him.'" He said, "˹Thus˺ they will both intercede for him.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 6626)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصِّيَامُ وَالْقُرْآنُ يَشْفَعَانِ لِلْعَبْدِ يَقُولُ الصِّيَامُ رَبِّ إِنِّي مَنَعْتُهُ الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ بِالنَّهَارِ فَشَفِّعْنِي فِيهِ وَيَقُولُ الْقُرْآنُ مَنَعْتُهُ النَّوْمَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَيُشَفَّعَانِ «»  

[Machine] The translation of the Arabic phrase "عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ»" into English is: "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever does not have anything from the Quran in his heart is like a ruined house."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: One who recites the Qur'an in a loud voice is like one who gives alms openly; and one who recites the Qur'an quietly is one who gives alms secretly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1333)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْجَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَالْمُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ» حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "You shall not return to Allah with what is more virtuous than what came from Him." Meaning the Qur'an. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2912)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ» يَعْنِي الْقُرْآنَ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, this Quran is the banquet of Allah, so accept from His banquet what you can. Indeed, this Quran is the rope of Allah, the bright light, and the beneficial cure. It is a protection for those who hold onto it and a means of salvation for those who follow it. It does not deviate, so it should be sought for refuge and it does not twist, so it should be reinforced. Its wonders do not cease to exist and it is not created by the abundance of repetition. Recite it, for indeed, Allah rewards you for every letter with ten good deeds. I do not say 'Alif, Lam, Meem' is one letter, but rather 'Alif' is one letter, 'Lam' is one letter, and 'Meem' is one letter."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَأْدُبَةُ اللَّهِ فَاقْبَلُوا مِنْ مَأْدُبَتِهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ وَالنُّورُ الْمُبِينُ وَالشِّفَاءُ النَّافِعُ عِصْمَةٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِ وَنَجَاةٌ لِمَنْ تَبِعَهُ لَا يَزِيغُ فَيُسْتَعْتَبَ وَلَا يَعْوَجُّ فَيُقَوَّمُ وَلَا تَنْقَضِي عَجَائِبُهُ وَلَا يَخْلَقُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ اتْلُوهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْجُرُكُمْ عَلَى تِلَاوَتِهِ كُلَّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ الم حَرْفٌ وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ وَلَامٌ وَمِيمٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever recites ten verses in one night, will not be recorded among the heedless."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ فِي لَيْلَةٍ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, he said: "Whoever recites ten verses in a night, will not be recorded among those who are heedless, and whoever recites one hundred verses will be recorded among the devout."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ فِي لَيْلَةٍ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ مِائَةَ آيَةٍ كُتِبَ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ»  

"The Quran will come on the Day of Resurrection, like a pale man, and will say: 'I am the one that kept you awake at night and made you thirsty during the day." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3781)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْقُرْآنُ كَالرَّجُلِ الشَّابِّ فَيَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَنَا الَّذِي أَسْهَرْتُ لَيْلَكَ وَأَظْمَأْتُ نَهَارَكَ «»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I have bought a piece of land from the sons of so-and-so for a certain amount. Should I inform you about something that is more valuable than it?" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Is there anything more valuable than it?" The man replied, "A person who memorized ten verses." The man then went and memorized ten verses and came back to inform the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ told him, "If 'Amr bin Khalid transmitted it through Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd and if the narrators from Basra among the Muhajirun confirmed it, then it is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim except that the Basris among the Mu'tamirin (people who had performed Umrah) differed in its narration."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ اشْتَرَيْتُ مِقْسَمَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فِي تَخْتٍ فِيهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «أَفَلَا أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمَا هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ رِيحًا؟» قَالَ وَهَلْ يُوجَدُ؟ قَالَ «رَجُلٌ تَعَلَّمَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ» فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَعَلَّمَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ «إِنْ كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَفِظَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ فَإِنَّهُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ خَالَفُوهُ فِيهِ»  

This tradition has also been narrated on the authority of ‘A’ishah through a different chain. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 99)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah has His own people among mankind.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who are they?' He said: 'The people of the Qur'an, the people of Allah and those who are closest to Him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 215)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ أَهْلِينَ مِنَ النَّاسِ» قَالُوا مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَهْلُ الْقُرْآنِ هُمْ أَهْلُ اللَّهِ وَخَاصَّتُهُ» «وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ هَذَا أَمِثْلُهَا»  

[Machine] "When we used to learn ten verses from the Quran from the Prophet ﷺ , we would not learn from the next ten verses that were revealed until we understood what was in them." It was said to a partner in work, and he said, "Yes."  

«كُنَّا إِذَا تَعَلَّمْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ لَمْ نَتَعَلَّمْ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ مَا فِيهِ» قِيلَ لِشَرِيكٍ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not teach you a Surah that was not revealed in the Torah, nor in the Injeel, nor in the Zabur, and not even in the Quran like it?" I said, "Certainly." He said, "Verily, I hope that it will not depart from this door until you learn it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and I stood up with him, and he started to teach me and I had my hand in his hand. I began to slow down, disliking to go ahead before he informed me about it. When I reached the door, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the Surah that you promised to teach me?' He said, 'How will you recite it when you stand to perform the prayer?' So I recited Al-Fatiha, and he said, 'It is this, it is this.' And it is the seven repeatedly recited verses and the great Quran that Allah, the Almighty, says, 'And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.' (Surah Al-Hijr 15:87), that which I was given."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَةً مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلُهَا؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَخْرُجَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَهَا» فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُنِي وَيَدِي فِي يَدِهِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَبَاطَأُ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي بِهَا فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنَ الْبَابِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَنِي فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَقَرَأْتُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ فَقَالَ هِيَ هِيَ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ} [الحجر 87] الَّذِي أُعْطِيتُ «»
