Sahl bin Mu'adh al-Juhani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites a thousand verses in the path of Allah, Allah, the Lord of Might, will grant him the company of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous."
