مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، لَا أَقُولُ الم حَرْفٌ، وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ حَرْفٌ، وَلَامٌ حَرْفٌ، وَمِيمٌ حَرْفٌ
Transliteration
Man qara'a harfan min kitabi-llahi fa-lahu bihi hasanah, wa-l-hasanatu bi-ashri amthaliha, la aqulu Alif Lam Mim harf, wa lakin alifun harf, wa lamun harf, wa mimun harf.
Translation
Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah will have a reward, and a reward is multiplied by ten. I do not say Alif Lam Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud·Sunan at-Tirmidhi 2910
