Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3491 — The virtue of the reciters

It is narrated from Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him), from his father, from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection the Noble Qur'an will take on an (embodied) form. Then the man who had carried it (memorised and recited it) will be brought, and the Qur'an will come forward as an adversary against him and will say: 'O my Lord, You made him my bearer, but what an evil bearer he proved to be: he transgressed my limits, neglected my obligations, committed acts of disobedience to me and abandoned obedience to me.' So the Qur'an will keep presenting proofs and arguments against him until it is said (by Allah): 'Now he is yours to deal with (that is, he is handed over to you).' Then the Qur'an will take hold of his hand and will not let go of him until it throws him face down upon a rock in Hell. Then the righteous servant who had carried the Qur'an (that is, memorised it and acted upon it) and preserved its commands will be brought, and the Qur'an will come forward as an intercessor on his behalf and will say: 'O my Lord, You made him my bearer, and he proved to be the best of bearers: he kept my limits, acted upon my obligations, avoided disobedience to me and carried out obedience to me.' It will keep presenting arguments in his favour until it is said: 'Now he is yours to deal with (that is, do with him as you wish).' Then the Qur'an will take his hand and will not let go of him until it clothes him in a garment of fine and thick silk (istabraq), places a royal crown upon his head, and gives him a cup of (Paradise's) delicious wine to drink."
This chain is hasan (good).
