Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shibl (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite the Qur'an and do not make it a means of livelihood, nor seek abundance of wealth through it. Do not distance yourselves from its recitation, nor fall into exaggeration regarding it.
