Those who said: the companion of the Quran will be told: recite and ascend

Abu Salih said: Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id or Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "On the Day of Resurrection it will be said to the one who has memorized the Qur'an: 'Keep reciting the Qur'an and keep ascending the levels of Paradise, for your rank is at the place where you reach the last verse.'"

Zirr said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The narrator mentioned something similar to the preceding report, but added this sentence: "And recite slowly and distinctly, as you used to recite slowly and distinctly in the world."

Zirr said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It will be said to the bearer of the Qur'an when he enters Paradise: 'Keep reciting the Qur'an and keep ascending the levels of Paradise, and recite slowly and distinctly as you used to recite slowly and distinctly in the world, for your rank is at the place where you reach the last verse.'"

Amr bin Murrah said: Mujahid said: "It will be said to the bearer of the Qur'an: 'Keep reciting the Qur'an and keep ascending the levels of Paradise.'" The narrator said: "So for every verse he will be raised one level, and with every verse one more good deed will be added."

Abu al-Duha said: Sayyiduna al-Dahhak bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "O people, teach your children and your families the Qur'an. For any Muslim for whom it is written that Allah will admit him into Paradise, two angels will come to him and flank him, and they will say to him: 'Keep reciting the Qur'an and keep ascending the levels of Paradise,' until they bring him down at the place where his knowledge of the Qur'an came to an end."
