Silsilah as-Sahihah 2909 — Do Not Seek Worldly Gain from Quran; Ruling

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were reciting the Noble Qur'an, and among us were Bedouins and non-Arabs as well. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite, recite, everyone is reciting correctly. Soon there will come people who will give so much importance to the (beautiful) recitation of the Noble Qur'an as is given to straightening an arrow, but they will take their reward in this world and will not defer its (reward and recompense) to the Hereafter."
