reward you for every letter you recite with ten blessings, and I do not say that reciting 'A.L.M' is ten but for 'A' ten, for 'L' ten, and for 'M' ten.' 106 And he said (S): 'O Salman, you must recite the Qur'an, for the recitation of it is an effacement of sins, and a shield from the fire, and a sanctuary from the torment.

For every verse one recites, the reward of that of one-hundred martyrs is written for him, and for every chapter he is given the reward of that of a prophet, and the mercy of Allah will descend upon him.' 107 He (S) also said: 'You must recite the Qur'an, and remember Allah frequently, for it is a remembrance for you in the sky and a light for you on the Earth.

108 And he (S) said: 'The parents of the reciter of the Qur'an will be crowned with the crown of nobility whose light illuminates for ten thousand years (of walking) distance, and will be clothed in a garment the smallest thread of which will be worth more than one-hundred thousand times those of the earthly world and whatever riches and opulence in it.

Then the reciter will be given dominion in his right hand and everlasting life in his left hand in a book which he will read from his right hand: You have been made one of the most esteemed kings of the gardens of heaven and one of the companions of Muhammad (S) Master of the prophets, and 'Ali (a) the best of vice-regents and after them the Imams, the pinnacles of piety.

I do not say that A.L.M is all one letter but A and L and M counts as thirty blessings.' 107 Appendix to The Shi'a Guide to the Shari'a: vol.4, p.257.

108 Seas of Lights: vol.74, p.74. left hand: You are safe from separation from this dominion and you have been rescued from death and sickness. You are spared from disease and illness and have avoided the envy of the envious and the schemes of the schemers. Then it will be said to him: Recite and rise to your allotted station at the last verse of the Qur'an you are able to recite.

When his parents see their garments and their crowns they will say: Lord, how is it that we have this honour when our acts did not deserve it.
