1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الَّذِي يُعَالِجُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَحْفَظُهُ بِمَشَقَّةٍ مِنْهُ وَقِلَّةِ حِفْظٍ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘Those who face difficulty memorizing the Holy Quran due to lesser ability of memorization will be rewarded twofold.’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنِ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ مَنْ شُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَمَنْ يُسِّرَ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ مَعَ الأوَّلِينَ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mansur ibn Yunus from al-Sabbah ibn Sayabah who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘One for whom memorizing the Holy Quran is difficult, his reward is twofold and those for whom it is easy, they are with the pioneers (the earliest Muslims).”’

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ لا يَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ أَوْ يَكُونَ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Sulaym al-Farra’ from a man from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “It is incumbent on a believer not to die without having learnt the Qur’an or being in the process of learning it.”
