Musayyib bin Rafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says: On the Day of Resurrection, the Qur’an will come as an intercessor and a confirmed advocate, and it will intercede for its companion and say: “O my Lord! Reward him, for he used to act through me, stay awake at night for my sake, and endure hardship for me, so reward him!” It will be said: “Clothe him with the robe of honor and dignity!” Then the Qur’an will say: “O Lord! Give him more reward, for he used to act through me, stay awake for my sake, and endure hardship for me!” It will be said: “Crown him with the crown of honor and dignity!” Then the Qur’an will say again: “O Lord! Give him more reward, for he used to act through me, stay awake for my sake, and endure hardship for me!” It will be said: “My pleasure has been granted to him, and there will never be any displeasure upon him again!” And here the intercession of the Qur’an will end.
