A letter, ten rewards

Tuesday, February 17, 2004

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
Reflection

The reward is per letter, not per page. A short sitting with the Quran is hundreds of letters. The maths is the most encouraging in any book.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
