Hadith Number 21
قالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
عَلِيُّ ابْنُ أَبِي طالِبٍ
(عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ):تَعَّلَمُوا
الْقُرآنَ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ
الْحَدِيثِ وَ تَفَقَّهُوا فِيهِ
فَإِنَّهُ رَبِيعُ الْقُلُوبِ وَ
اسْتَشْفُوا بِنُورِهِ فَإِنَّهُ
شِفاءُ الصُّدُورِ وَاحْسِنُوا
تِلاوَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْفَعُ
الْقَصَصِ.
Amirul Mo’minin ‘Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be
upon him) has said: “Learn the
Qur’an for it is the best of
narrations, and understand it
thoroughly for it is the best
blossoming of the hearts. Seek
cure with its’ Light for it is
the cure of the hearts. Recite
it beautifully for it is the
most beneficial of narrations.”
Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 110 (109 in some books)
Hadith Number 22
قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى
اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): فَإِذا أَلْتَبَسَتْ
عَلَيْكُمُ الْفِتَنُ كَقَطْعِ
الْلَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمَ
فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُرآنِ
فَإِنَّهُ شافِع مُشَفَّع وَ
ماحَلّ مُصَدِّق وَ مَنْ جَعَلَهُ
أَمامَهُ قادَهُ إِلـى الْجَنَّةِ
وَ مَنْ جَعَلَهُ خَلْفَهُ ساقَهُ
إِلـى النّارِ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “Whenever the waves of
calamities encompass you like
the dark night, seek refuge with
the Qur’an - for it is an
intercessor whose intercession
will be accepted. One who takes
it as a guide, Allah will lead
that person into Heaven; and
whoever disregards it or goes
against it, will be lead into
the Hell fire.”

Hadith Number 23
قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى
اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): إِقْرَؤُوا الْقُرآنَ
ما ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ
قُلُوبُكُمْ وَ لانَتْ عَلَيْهِ
جُلُودُكُمْ فَإِذا
اخْتَلَفْـتُمْ فَلَسْـتُمْ
تَقْرَؤُونَهُ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “Recite the Qur’an in such
a way that your hearts develop a
love for it and your skin
becomes softened by it. However
as soon as your hearts become
indifferent to it (meaning that
the Qur’an has no effect on
you), then stop reciting it.”

Hadith Number 24
قالَ إِلإِمامُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ
عَلِيٍّ الْباقِرُ (عَلَيْهِ
السَّلامُ): مَنْ خَتَمَ
الْقُرآنَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ
جُمْعَةٍ إِلـى جُمْعَةٍ أَوْ
أَكْثَرَ وَ خَتَمَهُ فِي يَوْمِ
الْجُمْعَةِ كَتَبَ اللّهُ لَهُ
مِنَ الأَجْرِ وِ الْحَسَناتِ
مِنْ أَوَّلِ جُمْعَةٍ كانَتْ فِي
الدُّنْيا إِلـى آخِرِ جُمْعَةٍ
تَكُونُ فِيها.
Imam Muhammad ibne ‘Ali al-Baqir (peace be
upon him) has said: “One who
finishes the recitation of the
entire Qur’an in the noble city
of Makkah within the time span
of one Jumu’ah (Friday) to
another Jumu’ah or more than
this (more than one week), but
completes the Qur’an on the day
of Jumu’ah, Allah will write for
that person the reward of good
deeds from the first Jumu’ah
that one came into the world,
until the last Jumu’ah that one
will remain alive in it.”

Hadith Number 25
قالَ الإِمامُ جَعْفَرُ ابْنُ
مُحَمَّدٍ الصّادِقُ (عَلَيْهِ
السَّلامُ): مَنْ قَرَأَ
الْقُرآنَ كَثِيراً وَ تَعاهَدَهُ
بِمَشَقَّةٍ مِنْ شِدَّةِ
حِفْظِهِ أَعْطاهُ اللّهُ أَجْرَ
هذَا مَرَّتَينِ.
Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be
upon him) has said: “Allah will
reward the person who recites
the Qur’an a great deal and
makes a promise with it to try
and memorize it even though it
may entail great difficulty, a
double reward.”

Hadith Number 26
قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى
اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): يُدْفَعُ عَنْ
مُسْتَمِعِ الْقُرآنِ شَرُّ
الدُّنْيا وَ يُدْفَعُ عَنْ
قارِيءَ الْقُرآنِ بَلْوى
الأَخِرَةِ وَ الْمُسْتَمِعَ
آيَةً مِنْ كِتابِ اللّهِ خَيْر
مِنْ ثَـبِيرِ ذَهَباً.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “One who listens to the
Qur’an (while it is being
recited) will be kept away from
the evils of this world; and one
who recites the Qur’an will be
kept away from the trials of the
hereafter. And the person who
listens to even one verse of the
book of Allah - this is better
(for him) than possessing a
mansion of gold.”

Hadith Number 27
قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى
اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): عَدَدُ دَرَجِ
الْجَنَّةِ عَدَدُ آياتِ
الْقُرآنِ (6236) آيَةٍ فَإِذا
دَخَلَ صاحِبُ الْقُرآنِ
الْجَنَّةَ قِيلَ لَهُ: إِرْقَأْ
وَاقْرَأْ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ دَرَجَة
فَلا تَكُونُ فَوْقَ حافِظِ
الْقُرآنِ دَرَجَة.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “The number of levels
(stages) in Heaven is
(equivalent to) the number of
verses in the Qur’an(6236).
Thus, when a recite of the
Qur’an enters into Heaven, it
will be said to him: ‘Go up one
level for every verse that you
can recite.’ Thus, no one will
be in a higher level than the
one who has memorized the entire
Qur’an.”
Biharul Anwar, Volume 92, Page 22
Hadith Number 28
قالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
عَلِيُّ ابْنُ أَبِي طالِبٍ
(عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ): إِقْرَؤُوا
الْقُرآنَ وَاسْتَظْهِرُوهُ
فَإِنَّ اللّهَ تَعالـى لا
يُعَذِّبُ قَلِياً وَعْيَ
الْقُرآنِ.
Amirul Mo’minin ‘Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be
upon him) has said: “Recite the
Qur’an and seek assistance from
it for surely Allah, the Most
High, will not punish one who
has memorized the Qur’an (and
has it within one’s heart).”
Biharul Anwar, Volume 92, Page 19
Hadith Number 29
قالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
عَلِيُّ ابْنُ أَبِي طالِبٍ
(عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ): مَنْ
قَرَأَ مِائَةَ آيَةٍ مِنَ
الْقُرآنِ مِنْ أَيِّ الْقُرآنَ
شاءَ ثُمَّ قالَ سَبْعَ مَرّاتٍ:
((يا أَللّهُ)) فَلَوْ دَعا عَلـى
الْصَخْرَةِ لَقَلَعَها إِنْشاءَ
اللّهُ.
Amirul Mo’minin ‘Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be
upon him) has said: “A person
who recites 100 verses from
anywhere in the Qur’an and then
says: ‘Ya Allah’ seven times, if
he wanted to remove a huge
boulder (from the ground), he
would be able to do so with the
permission of Allah.”

Hadith Number 30
قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى
اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
وَسَلَّمَ): إِذا أَرَدَتُمْ
عَيْشَ السُّعَداءِ وَ مَوْتَ
الشُّهَداءِ وَ النَّجاةَ يَوْمَ
الْحَسْرَةِ وَ الظِّلَّ يَوْمَ
الْحُرُورِ وَ الْهُدى يَوْمَ
الضَّلالَةِ فَأَدْرُسُوا
الْقُرآنَ فَإِنَّهُ كَلامُ
الرَّحْمنِ وَ حِرْز مِنَ
الشَّيْطانِ وَ رُجْحان فِي
الْمِيْزانِ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be
upon him and his family) has
said: “If you want ease and
success in this world, the death
of a martyr, to be saved on the
Day of Loss, a shade on the Day
of the burning Qiyamat, and
guidance on the Day of going
astray, then take lessons from
the Qur’an. Surely it is the
word of the Merciful, a
protection from the Satan, and
one of the most weightiest of
things for the scale of (good)
deeds (on the Day of Judgment).”
