[Machine] Learn the Quran and recite it, for you will be rewarded for every letter of it with a good deed. As for me, I do not say "Alif, Lam, Meem" is one good deed, but rather "Alif" is a good deed, "Lam" is a good deed, and "Meem" is a good deed. This is because Allah says, "Whoever brings a good deed will have ten times its likeness."  

الطبراني:٨٦٤٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَاتْلُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمْ تُؤْجَرُونَ بِهِ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِنْهُ حَسَنَةٌ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ الْم حَسَنَةٌ وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ وَلَامٌ وَمِيمٌ ثَلَاثُونَ حَسَنَةً ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ {مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِها}
