Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One who was devoted to the Quran will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1464. Commentary:
➊ In Surah Al-Muzzammil, the command is that [وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا) یعنی قرآن کریم کو ٹھر کر پڑھو۔ یعنی جلدی نہ کی جائے۔ اور الفاظ و معنی سے حظ حاصل کیا جائے۔
➋ اس حدیث میں مخلص باعمل حفاظ قراء اور قرآن کی تلاوت کو اپنا معمول بنانے والوں کی فضیلت کا بیان ہے۔ کہ عام مسلمانوں کے مقابلے میں یہ لوگ سب سے افضل ہوں گے۔ جب کہ بعض علماء کا یہ قول بھی ہے۔ کہ قرآن کے تقاضوں پر عمل بھی بمعنی قراءت ہی ہے جیسا کہ ارشاد باری تعالیٰ ہے۔ [كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ]
[ص۔29]
This is a magnificent Book which We have revealed to you. It is greatly blessed, so that people may ponder over its verses, and those endowed with intellect may take admonition. And such memorization and recitation which are devoid of sincerity and action—these will not attain the aforementioned ranks. May Allah protect us from this (al-‘iyadhu billah).

It is understood from this that there is immense virtue in reciting the Qur'an, and a person will attain a place in Paradise according to the amount of Qur'an he has memorized. That is, the more Qur'an he has memorized, he will recite it with measured recitation (tarteel) accordingly, and will continue to ascend the ranks of Paradise.
