وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَمِلَ بِمَا فِيهِ، وَمَاتَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ، بُعِثَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ وَالْبَرَرَةِ، وَمَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ يَنْفَلِتُ مِنْهُ آتَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهُ وَلَا يَدَعُهُ بَعَثَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مَعَ أَشْرَافِ أَهْلِهِ، وَفُضِّلُوا عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ كَمَا فُضِّلَتِ النُّسُورُ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطُّيُورِ، وَكَمَا فُضِّلَتْ عَيْنٌ فِي مَرْجَةٍ عَلَى مَا حَوْلَهَا، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ: أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا لَا تُلْهِيهِمْ رِعَايَةُ الْأَنْعَامِ عَنْ تِلَاوَةِ كِتَابِي ؟ فَيَقُومُونَ فَيَلْبَسُ أَحَدُهُمْ تَاجَ الْكَرَامَةِ، وَيُعْطَى الْيُمْنَ بِيَمِينِهِ وَالْخُلْدَ بِيَسَارِهِ، ثُمَّ يُكْسَى أَبَوَاهُ إِنْ كَانَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ حُلَّةً، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، فَيَقُولَانِ: أَنَّى لَنَا هَذَا، وَمَا بَلَغَتْ أَعْمَالُنَا ؟ فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّ وَلَدَكُمَا كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ

✧ “Whoever recites the Qur'an and acts according to what is in it and dies in the community will be raised on the Day of Resurrection with the noble and righteous scribes. Whoever recites the Qur'an while it slips away from him, Allah the Exalted will give him his reward twice. Whoever is eager for it but cannot do it and does not abandon it, Allah the Exalted will raise him with the nobles of his family, and they will be favored over creatures as eagles are favored over the rest of the birds, and as a spring in a meadow is favored over what surrounds it. Then a caller will call: Where are those who were not distracted from reciting My Book by tending livestock? They will stand up, and one of them will be clothed with the crown of honor and given bliss in his right hand and eternity in his left. Then his parents, if they were Muslims, will be clothed with a garment better than the world and what is in it. They will say: How do we have this, when our deeds did not reach this? It will be said: Your child used to recite the Qur'an.”
