Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will be said to the memorizer of the Qur'an on the Day of Resurrection: Start reciting and begin ascending (the ranks of Paradise), and recite slowly and distinctly as you used to recite slowly and distinctly in the world. Your position will be at the last verse you recite."
