5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid and al-Husayn ibn Sa’id all from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from Muhammad ibn Marwan from Sa’D ibn Tarif from abu Ja’far who has said the following:

“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘One who reads ten verses from the Holy Quran in a night he is not written of the neglectful people. If one reads fifty verses, he is written of those who speak of Allah. If one reads one hundred verses, he is written of the pleading people before Allah. If one reads two hundred verses, he is written of those who express humility before Allah. If one reads three hundred verses he is written of the successful ones. If one reads five hundred verses, he is written of those striving for the cause of Allah. If one reads one thousand verses one Qintar of Tibr, gold will be his reward. A Qintar is equal to fifteen thousand Mithqal of gold. A Mithqal is equal to twenty four Qirat and the smallest Qirat is of the size of the mountain of ‘Uhud and the largest equals to the size of space between earth and the sky.”’
