2. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Nadr bin Suwayd, from Yahya al-Halabi, from Muhammed bin Marwan, from Sa’d bin Tareef, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said:

The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: The one who recites ten verses at a night, will not be written to be among the unaware. The one who recites fifty verses, will be written to be among the remembering. The one who recites a hundred verses, will be written to be among the performers of qunut. The one who recites two hundred verses, will be written to be among the devoted. The one who recites three hundred verses, will be written to be among the winners. The one who recites five hundred verses, will be written to be among the diligent. The one who recites a thousand verses, to him it will be written a kantar. A kantar is five thousand mithqal [1] of gold. One mithqal is twenty four carats, of which the smallest is like Mount Uhud, and of which the biggest is (like that which is) between the Heaven and earth.
