This Hadith also highlights the merit of the reader of the Qur'an who does not know `Ilm At-Tajwid, and for that
reason cannot read it fluently. But in spite of this, he reads it with great effort. He will be given double reward, one
for the difficulty encountered in reciting it, and another for reading it. Safratun translated in the Hadith as scribes
(angels) mean the angels that convey the Wahy (Revelation) to the Messenger of Allah. Imam Bukhari has taken it
to mean "
one who makes reconciliation
''. The angels who bring Wahy and chastisement from Allah.

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
The
believer who recites the Qur'an is like a citron whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is delicious. A believer who
does not recite the Qur'an is like a date-fruit which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste. The hypocrite who recites
the Qur'an is like a colocynth whose fragrance is so sweet, but its taste is bitter. The hypocrite who does not recite
the Qur'an is like basil which has no fragrance and its taste is bitter
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that a believer who recites the Qur'an and acts upon it, Allah will grant him a
high rank. He is loved by Allah and also enjoys public esteem. The believer who does not recite it but acts upon its
teachings is also loved by Allah and people. The hypocrite who recites the Qur'an to have a good show has an evil
and dark mind. Last of all comes that hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an and has a dark mind and appearance.

`Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
Verily, Allah
elevates some people with this Qur'an and abases others
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Only such people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain from what is
forbidden by Allah. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by Allah because
they loved and applied the Qur'an. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur'an, they made great
achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Islam will be disgraced and
humiliated. May Allah guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur'an so that we can regain our past
glory. Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said: "
Envy is justified in regard
to two types of persons only: a man whom Allah has given knowledge of the Qur'an, and so he recites it during the
night and during the day; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and so he spends from it during the night and
during the day
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has been quoted before at two places (
see Hadith No. 572
). It has been repeated here to
bring into prominence the merit of reciting the Qur'an. Refer to the Commentary on Hadith No. 544.

Al-Bara' bin `Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man was reciting Surat Al-Kahf, and a horse
was tied with two ropes beside him. As he was reciting, a cloud overshadowed him, and as it began to come nearer
and nearer, the horse began to trample voilently. The man came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in the morning
