The Reward for Reading the Holy Quran

4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَادٍّ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ جُمُعَةٍ إِلَى جُمُعَةٍ أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَخَتَمَهُ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِنَ الأجْرِ وَالْحَسَنَاتِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ جُمُعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَى آخِرِ جُمُعَةٍ تَكُونُ فِيهَا وَإِنْ خَتَمَهُ فِي سَائِرِ الأيَّامِ فَكَذَلِكَ.
4. Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Khalid ibn Mad al-Qalanisi from abu Hamza al-Thumali from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “If one, while in Makkah, reads the Holy Quran beginning on a Friday and completes reading the next Friday or within less or more time ending on Friday the reward for it will be written like the reward for a reading commencing from the first ever Friday in the world to the last Friday that there will ever be. The same will be the reward for reading in other days.”
