We said: O Messenger of Allah! Each one of us would like that. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If any one of you goes to the mosque in the morning and learns two verses from the Book of Allah, it is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better than three she-camels, and four are better than four, and so on according to the number of verses, as many camels.
