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."
