Ibrahim Taimi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: It will be said to the companion of the Qur'an: "Recite, ascend, and recite with measured recitation! Thus, he will reach as far as the Qur'an takes him."

Musayyib bin Rafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says: On the Day of Resurrection, the Qur’an will come as an intercessor and a confirmed advocate, and it will intercede for its companion and say:“O my Lord! Reward him, for he used to act through me, stay awake at night for my sake, and endure hardship for me, so reward him!”It will be said:“Clothe him with the robe of honor and dignity!”Then the Qur’an will say:“O Lord! Give him more reward, for he used to act through me, stay awake for my sake, and endure hardship for me!”It will be said:“Crown him with the crown of honor and dignity!”Then the Qur’an will say again:“O Lord! Give him more reward, for he used to act through me, stay awake for my sake, and endure hardship for me!”It will be said:“My pleasure has been granted to him, and there will never be any displeasure upon him again!”And here the intercession of the Qur’an will end.

Uqbah bin Sa’eer (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) say:“If I were to memorize the Qur’an, and then stand (in prayer) with it for a year, that would be more beloved to me than such-and-such things, because it has reached me that it will be said to the companion of the Qur’an: ‘Recite, ascend, and recite with measured recitation!’ Thus, it is hoped that whoever has gathered the Qur’an will be among the ones brought near (to Allah).”

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who recites the Qur'an and has memorized it, his example is like that of the noble and righteous angels, and the one who recites the Qur'an but has not memorized it, and it is difficult for him to remember it, yet he continues to repeat it, for him there is a double reward."

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Whoever recites the Qur'an with ease is counted among the honored angels, and whoever finds it difficult to recite the Qur'an and it is burdensome for him, for him there is double reward.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Safeguard the Qur'an, for it slips away from a person's heart just as a tied camel escapes when released. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is very bad for someone to say, "I have forgotten such-and-such verse," rather, in reality, he has been made to forget it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: It is very bad for any of you to say, "I have forgotten such-and-such verse," rather, in reality, he has been made to forget it. Keep memorizing the Qur'an, for it slips away from a person's chest just as tied camels break loose and run away.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Every person who is made responsible for the affairs of a group will be brought on the Day of Resurrection in a state of captivity, and only justice will release him from that captivity. And whoever recites the Qur'an and then forgets it, he will meet Allah in such a state as if his limbs are cut off.

Suwaid bin Jubalah al-Fazari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I do not care whether I learned a surah of the Qur'an and then abandoned it, or that I am walking among the people with a severed hand.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best among you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand, made me sit beside him, and taught me the Qur'an.
