Silsilah as-Sahihah 2908 — Do Not Seek Worldly Gain from Quran; Ruling

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by a reciter of the Qur'an who, after reciting, would ask people (for something). He recited «إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever recites the Noble Qur'an should ask Allah Almighty through it. Soon there will come people who will recite the Qur'an but will ask people (for things) because of it."
