The Excellence of the Holy Quran

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَدْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً بُورِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ بُورِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بُورِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَعَلَى جِيرَانِهِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَرَّةً بَنَى الله لَهُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ قَصْراً فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ الْحَفَظَةُ اذْهَبُوا بِنَا إِلَى قُصُورِ أَخِينَا فُلانٍ فَنَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً مَا خَلا الدِّمَاءَ وَالأمْوَالَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُ أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ شَهِيدٍ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُرِيقَ دَمُهُ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ يُرَى لَهُ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Badr from Muhammad ibn Marwan from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever reads Chapter 1 12 of the Holy Quran once receives blessings. Whoever reads it twice, he and his family receive blessings. Whoever reads it three times, he, his family and his neighbors receive blessings. Whoever reads it twelve times, Allah will build for him twelve palaces in paradise and the keepers will say, ‘We should go and see the palaces of our brother so and so.’ Whoever reads it one hundred times his sins of twenty-five years will be forgiven, except murders and properties. Whoever reads it four hundred times will receive a reward equal to that for four hundred martyrs, each of whom martyred after the destruction of his horse. Whoever reads it one thousand times in one day and night will not die before seeing his place in paradise or is shown for him (to a third party).”’
