Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "The example of the
person who knows the Qur'an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If

Virtues of the Qur'an

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do not wish to be
except like two men. A man whom Allah has given the knowledge of the Book
and he recites it during the hours of the night, and a man whom Allah has
given wealth, and he spends it in charity during the night and the hours of
the day."

Narrated Usaid bin Hudair (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

That while he was reciting Surat Al-Baqara (The Cow) at night, and his
horse was tied beside him, the horse was suddenly startled and troubled.
When he stopped reciting, the horse became quiet, and when he started
again, the horse was startled again. Then he stopped reciting and the horse
became quiet too. He started reciting again and the horse was startled and
troubled once again. Then he stopped reciting and his son, Yahya was beside
the horse. He was afraid that the horse might trample on him. When he took
the boy away and looked towards the sky, he could not see it. The next
morning he informed the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who said,
"Recite, O Ibn Hudair! Recite, O Ibn Hudair!" Ibn Hudair replied, "O
Allah's Apostle! My son, Yahya was near the horse and I was afraid that it
might trample on him, so I looked towards the sky, and went to him. When I
looked at the sky, I saw something like a cloud containing what looked like
lamps, so I went in order not to see it." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi
Wa Sallam) said, "Do you know what that was?" Ibn Hudair replied, "No." The
Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Those were Angels who came
near to you for your voice and if you had kept on reciting till dawn, it
would have remained there till morning when people would have seen it as it
would not have disappeared."

Narrated Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to me, "Recite (the Quran)
to me." I said, "O Allah's Apostle Shall I recite (the Qur'an) to you while
it has been revealed to you?" He said, "Yes." So I recited Surat-An-Nisa'
(The Women), but when I recited the Verse:

'How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness and We
bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people.' (4.41)

He (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Enough for the present," I looked
at him and behold! His eyes were overflowing with tears.

Narrated 'Aisha (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

Whenever the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) went to bed every
night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting
Surat Al-Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and then rub his hands
over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head,
face and front of his body. He used to do that three times.
