It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever gives someone a gift, such as silver or gold, or gives someone milk to drink, or gives someone a water-skin, it is as if he has freed a slave. And whoever recites these words: La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer, it is like freeing a slave. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go from one end of the row to the other, straightening the chests and shoulders of the worshippers, and would say: Do not move forward or backward, otherwise differences will arise in your hearts. And he would say: Upon those in the first rows, Allah sends mercy and the angels pray for mercy. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beautify the Qur’an with your voices.
