Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32044 — Those who said: the Quran will

Amr bin Murrah said: Mujahid said: "On the Day of Resurrection the Qur'an will intercede for the one who recites it. It will say: 'O my Lord, You placed me in his breast, and I kept him awake at night and restrained him from many desires. And every labourer has a wage for his work.' Then it will be said to the man: 'Spread out your hand.'" The narrator said: "Then his hand will be filled with the pleasure and approval of Allah, after which there will be no displeasure upon him. Then it will be said to this memorizer of the Qur'an: 'Keep reciting and keep ascending.' Then for every verse he will be raised one level, and with every verse one good deed will be added."
