Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let no one deceive you because he recites the Qur'an; these are merely words uttered by the tongue, but see whether he acts upon it or not.

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِشِرْكٍ، فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ يُبَرِّئُنِي مِنَ الشِّرْكِ، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ: { قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ } فَمَا أَخْطَأَهَا أَبِي مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَلَا لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا .

Then we moved on and heard someone else reciting Surah «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ», so he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: This person has been forgiven.

Therefore, in your recitation and deeds, make the pleasure of Allah Almighty your sole objective.
Hadith 135
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنِ الصَّلْتِ بْنِ بَهْرَامَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ قَرَأَهُ عَبِيدٌ وَصِبْيَانٌ لَمْ يَأْخُذُوهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَلَا عِلْمَ لَهُمْ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ، إِنَّ أَحَقَّ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْقُرْآنِ مَنْ رُئِيَ فِي عَمَلِهِ، قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: { كِتَابٌ أَنْـزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الأَلْبَابِ } وَإِنَّمَا تَدَبُّرُ آيَاتِهِ اتِّبَاعُهُ بِعَمَلِهِ، يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ: تَعَالَ أُقَارِئُكَ، وَاللهِ مَا كَانَتِ الْقُرَّاءُ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا، وَاللهِ مَا هُمْ بِالْقُرَّاءِ وَلَا الْوَرَعَةِ، لَا كَثَّرَ اللهُ فِي النَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ، لَا كَثَّرَ اللهُ فِي النَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ .
Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This Qur’an has been recited by such slaves and children who neither learned it from its beginning nor have knowledge of its interpretation and explanation. Indeed, those most deserving of the Qur’an are those whose actions reflect it, as Allah the Blessed and Exalted has said: “(This is) a blessed Book which We have sent down to you, that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.” [سورہ ص: 29] And the true meaning of reflecting upon its verses is to follow and act upon it. (Today) a person says to another: “Come, I will teach you the Qur’an!” By Allah! The reciters of old did not do this, by Allah! They are neither among the reciters nor among the people of piety. May Allah not increase such people, may Allah not increase such people.
Hadith 136

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites one hundred (100) verses at night will be written among the devoutly obedient (Qanitin), and whoever is regular in the five prayers will not be counted among the heedless."
Hadith 137
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، قَالَ: كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يَقْرَؤُوا بَعْضَ الْآيَةِ وَيَتْرُكُوا بَعْضًا .

It is narrated from Mughira bin Sabi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) that whoever recites a few verses of Surah Al-Baqarah before sleeping will not forget the Qur’an; that is, four verses: “And your God is one God; there is no deity except Him, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate” (__QUR_N__), Ayat al-Kursi, and its last three verses.
Hadith 139
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لَيْسَ الْخَطَأُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ خَاتِمَةَ آيَةٍ خَاتِمَةَ آيَةٍ أُخْرَى .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: None of you should say, "I have taken the whole Qur'an," for how does he know what the whole Qur'an is! Much of the Qur'an has passed away from it. Rather, he should say: We have taken from it that which has appeared.
Hadith 141
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ خُوَيْلِدٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَتَى السُّدَّةَ - سُدَّةَ السُّوقِ -، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَخَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا، ثُمَّ مَشَى حَتَّى أَتَى دَرَجَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالَ: يَا حَنْظَلَةُ، أَتَرَى هَذَا يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ؟ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ كَفَّارَةً، أَوْ قَالَ: يَمِينٌ .
Sayyiduna Hanzalah bin Khuwailid Al-Anzi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I went out with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), until he reached the gate of the market, faced it, and then said: "O Allah! I ask You for its good and the good of its people, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of its people." Then he reached the steps of the mosque and heard a man swearing by a surah of the Qur'an. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Hanzalah! Do you think this man can offer expiation for his oath? Every verse has an expiation," or he said: "This is an oath."
Hadith 142
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَنَفٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فِي سُوقِ الرَّقِيقِ إِذْ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: إِنَّ عَلَيْهِ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ مِنْهَا يَمِينًا .
Sayyiduna Abu Kanaf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was walking with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in the slave market when he heard a man swearing an oath by a surah of the Qur'an.

Hadith 143
قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: مَنْ حَلَفَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَعَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ يَمِينٌ، وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِهِ كُلِّهِ .
Al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I mentioned this matter to Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), so he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever swears an oath by the Qur'an, for every verse there is an oath binding upon him, and whoever denies even a single verse of the Qur'an, it is as if he has denied the entire Qur'an."
