Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) transmits this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever learns the Qur'an in the path of Allah, his name will be recorded along with the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous, and excellent are they as companions."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Zabban bin Fa'id, who is da'if (weak).
