9ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ مِائَةَ آيَةٍ يُصَلِّي بِهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَتَبَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ بِهَا قُنُوتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ مِائَتَيْ آيَةٍ فِي غَيْرِ صَلاةٍ لَمْ يُحَاجَّهُ الْقُرْآنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ آيَةٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ فِي صَلاةِ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ كَتَبَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ فِي اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ قِنْطَاراً مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالْقِنْطَارُ أَلْفٌ وَمِائَتَا أُوقِيَّةٍ وَالأوقِيَّةُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ.
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Ali from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Whoever reads one hundred verses of the Holy Quran in prayer in the night, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will write down for him the reward for one night’s worshipping. Whoever reads two hundred verses without being in prayer, the Holy Quran, on the Day of Judgment, will not argue against him. Whoever reads five hundred verses in one day and night, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, writes down for him in the protected tablet one Qintar of good deeds. One Qintar is one thousand two hundred ‘Awqiyah, which is greater than the mountain of ‘Uhud.’”
