Ḥadīth 1

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَوَامِّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ فِی الْمُصْحَفِ نَظَراً مُتِّعَ بِبَصَرِهِ وَ خُفِّفَ عَنْ وَالِدَیْهِ وَ إِنْ کَانَا کَافِرَیْنِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from a man from the general populace who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites the Holy Quran by looking at it, his eyes will become stronger and the chastisement of his parents would be reduced even if they had been disbelievers.”

Ḥadīth 2

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: لَیْسَ شَیْ ءٌ أَشَدَّ عَلَی الشَّیْطَانِ مِنْ قِرَاءَهِ الْمُصْحَفِ نَظَراً.

2. And from the previous chain who raised it to The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “There is nothing more severe for Satan except a person reciting the Holy Quran by looking at it.”
