It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection it will be said to the companion of the Qur'an: Recite and ascend (through the ranks), and recite with measured recitation (tartil) just as you used to recite in the world, for your station is at the last verse that you recite."
