Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the people of the Ash‘ari tribe recite the Qur'an during the night in Qiyam al-Layl, I recognize their voices. I have not seen them coming out of their houses during the day, but because of the voices heard at night, I certainly recognize their houses. Among them is a wise man, who, when he faces (the enemy's) army, says to them: My companions are commanding you to wait for them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will emerge in my Ummah people who will gulp down the Qur'an like water."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! You have grown old quickly (what is the reason)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Surah Hud, Surah Waqi'ah, Surah Mursalat, Surah Naba «عم يتساءلون» and Surah Takwir «اذا الشمس كورت» have made me old."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wants to see the Day of Resurrection as if he is seeing it with his own eyes, let him recite «اذا الشمس كورت» (i.e., Surah Takwir), «اذا السماء انشقت» (i.e., Surah Inshiqaq), and «اذا السماء انفطرت» (i.e., Surah Infitar)."

Musa bin Yazid Kindi says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was teaching a man the Noble Qur'an. (One day) he ( «انما الصدقات للفقراء والمساكين» ) recited it fluently and quickly. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not teach me to recite as you are reciting. He said: O Abu Abdur-Rahman! How did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) teach you? He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite «انما الصدقات للفقرا والمساكين» slowly and with elongation.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to his companions and recited the complete Surah Ar-Rahman before them, and they listened in silence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I recited this same Surah to the jinn on the night (when I met them), and they responded better than you. Whenever I recited the verse «فَبِأَيِّ آلاء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ» 'Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?' they would say: O our Lord! We do not deny any of Your blessings, and for You alone is all praise."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw in a dream that I was under a tree and the tree was reciting Surah Sad. When it recited the verse of prostration, it performed the prostration of recitation and recited this supplication in it: "O Allah! Write a reward for me because of this prostration, remove sins from me through it, grant me anew the ability to be grateful through it, and accept this prostration from me just as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud (peace be upon him)." When morning came, I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and told him the whole matter. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abu Sa'id! Did you also perform the prostration?" I said: No. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You were more deserving of performing the prostration than the tree." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Surah Sad, until he reached the verse of prostration, (then he performed the prostration and) recited the same supplication that the tree had recited.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Surah An-Najm was written in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When he reached the verse of prostration, he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and we performed prostration, and the inkwell and the pen also performed prostration.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite the Qur'an, for indeed you will receive reward for it. Be aware! I do not say that «الم» is one letter, rather «الف» has ten good deeds separately, «لام» separately, and «ميم» separately; thus, «الم» has a total of thirty good deeds."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites a single letter from the Noble Qur'an will receive one good deed, and one good deed is equal to ten like it. I do not say that «الم» is a letter, rather «الف» is a letter, «لام» is a letter, and «ميم» is a letter."
