قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى كَتَبَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةً، لَا أَقُولُ: الم حَرْفٌ، وَلَكِنَّ الْحُرُوفَ مُقَطَّعَةٌ: الْأَلِفُ، وَاللَّامُ، وَالْمِيمُ.
