Difficulty in memorizing the Holy Quran and reciting a Surah before going to bed
1 hadith حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ الْمُکَتِّبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِیلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْفُضَیْلِ بْنِ یَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ الَّذِی یُعَالِجُ الْقُرْآنَ لِیَحْفَظَهُ بِمَشَقَّهٍ مِنْهُ وَ قِلَّهِ حِفْظٍ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَ قَالَ مَا یَمْنَعُ التَّاجِرَ مِنْکُمُ الْمَشْغُولَ فِی سُوقِهِ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَی مَنْزِلِهِ أَنْ لَا یَنَامَ حَتَّی یَقْرَأَ سُورَهً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَیُکْتَبَ لَهُ مَکَانَ کُلِّ آیَهٍ یَقْرَؤُهَا عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَ یُمْحَی عَنْهُ عَشْرُ سَیِّئَاتٍ.
1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام said, “One who tries to memorize the Holy Quran with extreme difficulty due to a weak memory will get two rewards.” He further said, “Why don’t the people who trade in markets whole day not recite a Surah when they return to their homes at night before going to bed? If they do so they would get ten rewards for each verse and ten sins will be wiped off.”
