HADEES ON THE HOLY QURAN-4 (concluded)

Feb 6, '13 11:37 AM for everyone

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “Surely the recitation of the Qur’an is an atonement for the sins, a covering (protection) from the Hell Fire, and a safety from the punishment.  Mercy will descend upon the reciter, the Angels will seek forgiveness for him, Heaven will long for that person, and his Master (Allah) will be pleased with him.”

Biharul Anwar, Volume 93, Page 17

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “The people of the Qur’an (those who recite and those who memorize the Qur’an) will be in the highest level (in Heaven) from amongst all of the people with the exception of the Prophets and Messengers.  Thus, do not seek to degrade the people of the Qur’an, nor take away their rights, for surely they have been given a high rank by Allah.”

mam Muhammad ibne ‘Ali al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said: “Surely the Book of Allah is the most truthful of all narrations, and the best of all stories, and Allah has said: (And when the Qur’an is being recited, then listen to it and remain silent so that perhaps mercy may be shown to you.)” [Suratul A’raf (7), Verse 204]

Imam Muhammad ibne ‘Ali al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said: “Anyone who recites the Qur’an while standing in his Salat, Allah will record one hundred good deeds (in that person’s book) for every letter that is recited; and anyone who recites the Qur’an while sitting in his Salat, Allah will record fifty deeds (in that person’s book) for every letter recited; and one who recites it (the Qur’an) in other than his Salat, Allah will record ten good deeds for every letter that one recites.”

The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “Place a portion (of goodness) from the Qur’an in your homes, for surely ease will come to the people of that house in which the Qur’an is read, goodness will increase, and the inhabitants (of that house) will be given excess bounties.”

Wasa’ilush Shi’a, Volume 4, Page 85

Imam ‘Ali ibne al-Husain (peace be upon him) has said: “The verses of the Qur’an are treasures, and every time a treasure is opened up, it is desirable that you look at what is inside it.”

Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 609

Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “One who protects the Qur’an and acts upon it as well, will be with the noble, devoted Angels on the Day of Judgement.”

Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 603

Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “One who recites the Qur’an and is a believing youth, the Qur’an becomes mixed with his flesh and blood, and Allah - The Noble and Great - will place him with the noble, devoted Angels.  In addition, the Qur’an will act as a barrier (between him and the Hell Fire) on the Day of Judgement.”

Thawabul A’mal, Page 226

Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “Surely the Qur’an is not to be read in a rush or very quickly.  Rather, it should be recited in slow, measured portions.  Whenever you reach a verse which talks about Heaven, then stop (at that verse) and ask from Allah (the bounties of) Heaven.  And whenever you reach a verse which speaks about the Hell, then stop (at that verse) and seek protection from Allah from the Hell Fire (and the punishment).”

Usulul Kafi, Volume 3, Page 301

Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “I would like to see a Qur’an in every house so that through this, Allah would repel the Satan (from that house.)”
