It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (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 to others." Abu Abdur Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is on the basis of this (hadith) that I am sitting in this place (to teach the Qur'an to people)."

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Qur'an will intercede for its companion on the Day of Resurrection and will say: "O my Lord! You placed me in his chest, I kept him awake at night, and I restrained him from many desires, and every doer is given a reward!" Then (Allah Almighty) will say: "Stretch out your hand!" or He said: "Stretch out your right hand!" Then his hand will be filled with the pleasure of Allah, and He will never be displeased with him. Then it will be said: "Recite and ascend!" For every verse, his rank will be raised by one degree, and for every verse, he will be given a good deed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fudaylah bin Ubaid and Sayyiduna Tamim Dari (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites ten verses at night will be written among those who pray and will not be counted among the heedless. Whoever recites fifty verses will be written among Allah’s protected servants until morning. Whoever recites three hundred verses, Allah Almighty will say: 'My servant endured hardship for My sake!' And whoever recites one thousand verses, a qintar (a great reward) will be written for him, and a qintar is better than the world and everything in it, and even more than that, as much as Allah wills to grant in reward! When the Day of Resurrection comes, your Lord will say to the servant: 'Recite and ascend for every verse!' until he reaches his last verse, then Allah will say: 'Take!' The servant will stretch out his hands and say: 'O Lord! You know best!' Allah will say: 'Through this, attain everlasting life, and through this, receive blessings!'"

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Whoever recites ten verses at night will not be counted among the heedless."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites the Qur'an and recites it with correct pronunciation, then dies in that state, he will be like the martyr who is covered in blood in the path of Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who recites the Qur'an aloud is like one who gives charity openly, and the one who recites the Qur'an quietly is like one who gives charity secretly."

Whenever Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) completed the Qur'an, he would gather his family and supplicate.

The Tabi'i Mujahid, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever completes the Qur'an is given such a supplication that is not rejected.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Recite the Qur'an in the correct Arabic accent, for it is in Arabic, and after you there will come people who will recite it incorrectly, even though they will not be the best among you.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to his companions while they were reciting the Qur'an, so he said: "Recite, all of it is the Book of Allah, before there come people who will straighten it as an arrow is straightened; they will hasten and will not recite with deliberation."
