A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Mu’adh ibn Muslim from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sulayman from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “If one reads the Holy Quran in prayer standing Allah will write down for him the reward for one hundred good deeds for each letter.

If one reads the Holy Quran in prayer sitting Allah will write down for him the reward for fifty good deeds for each letter and if one reads without being in prayer, Allah will write for him the reward for ten good deeds for each letter.’” Ibn Mahbub has said, “I have heard this Hadith from Mu’adh the way ibn Sinan has narrated.” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/495))
