Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people in the year of Tabuk and said, while he (peace be upon him) was leaning against a date-palm tree: The worst among the people is the one who is wicked and bold, who recites the Book of Allah Almighty, but does not invite towards anything from it.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by a man who was reciting the Noble Qur’an to the people. When he finished, he asked the people for something. Upon seeing this situation, they said: "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." Verily, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever recites the Noble Qur’an, let him ask Allah Almighty through it. Soon there will come people who will recite the Noble Qur’an, but will ask the people through it."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shibl Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite the Noble Qur'an, do not make it a means of livelihood, do not amass abundant wealth through it, do not become hard-hearted regarding it, and do not be excessive or harsh in its matters.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Most of the hypocrites of my Ummah will be among the reciters (Qurra).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws bin Huzayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was present in that delegation which came from the Banu Malik tribe of Thaqif to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and accepted Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accommodated us in a tent. When he would go from his house to the mosque, he would pass by us. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the Isha prayer, he would come to us and talk with us for a long time, mentioning the complaints of the Quraysh and the people of Makkah, and would say: Now there is no equality, the time has changed. In Makkah, we were scattered and weak, and when we were expelled from Makkah towards Madinah Munawwarah, the drum of war was beaten against us and also in our favor (meaning the contest was equal). One night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come to us; a long time passed after Isha. Then when he came, we said: O Messenger of Allah! What was the reason you did not come to us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My portion of the Qur’an (was left), so it overcame me and I resolved not to come out until I completed it. When morning came, we asked the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): How do you divide the Qur’an and make portions of it? They said: We divide the Qur’an in this way: three surahs, five surahs, seven surahs, nine surahs, eleven surahs, thirteen surahs, and from Surah Qaf to the end is the detailed portion. In this way, the completion of the Qur’an is achieved.

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever's regular (night) practice is missed, but he performs it between the Fajr and Dhuhr prayers, it will be as if he performed it during the night."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was sitting beside the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when suddenly revelation began to descend upon him and tranquility overtook him, while his thigh was upon my thigh. By Allah! I have never felt anything heavier than the thigh of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, when this state departed from him, he said: O Zaid! Write. I took a shoulder blade and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Write this verse {لَا یَسْتَوِی الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَالْمُجَاہِدُونَ … أَ جْرًا عَظِیمًا}. When Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a blind man, heard this verse and heard that in this verse the great virtue of the Mujahideen was mentioned, he said: O Messenger of Allah! What will happen to the one who does not have the strength for jihad, such as the blind and others? Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) had not even finished his words when the tranquility that would descend upon him (peace and blessings be upon him) during revelation descended again, and his thigh was upon my thigh. I felt the same weight from it as I had felt before during the state of revelation. Then, when the state of revelation departed from him (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Recite that verse. When I recited that verse, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Write with it: {غَیْرُ أُولِی الضَّرَرِ}. Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I joined this part with that verse, as if even now I am seeing the mark of swelling at the place of that verse on the shoulder blade.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) compiling the Holy Qur'an on pieces of cloth, when suddenly the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Glad tidings for the region of Sham. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels of mercy have spread their wings over it.
