Hazrat Buraidah narrates that I was with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I heard him say: On the Day of Resurrection, the Qur’an will meet its companion in the form of a lean man when his grave is opened. It will say to him: Do you recognize me? That person will reply: I do not recognize you. Then it will say to that person: I am your companion, the Qur’an, who kept you thirsty in the intense heat and kept you awake during your nights. And indeed, every trader receives the profit of his trade. Therefore, today you will receive the profit of your trade. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sovereignty will be given in his right hand, and everlasting life in his left hand. And a crown of honor will be placed on his head. And his parents will be dressed in two beautiful garments, the like of which cannot be matched by all the people of the world. They will both say: For what reason have we been dressed in these garments? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It will be said to them: Because your child memorized the Qur’an. Then it will be said to the memorizer of the Qur’an: Recite and ascend through the ranks and lofty chambers of Paradise. Thus, as long as he continues to recite, whether slowly or quickly, he will continue to rise.
