What is the reward for a husband if his wife memorizes the Qur’an in his home, and who wears the crown of light mentioned in the Hadith: "Whoever recites the Qur’an, learns it, and acts upon it will be adorned on the Day of Resurrection with a crown of light whose radiance is like the radiance of the sun, and his parents will be clothed with two garments that the world cannot equal. They will say: ‘Why have we been clothed with these?’ It will be said: ‘Because your child embraced the Qur’an’"?

The aforementioned Hadith in the question is weak, as is the Hadith of Sahl ibn Mu'adh al-Juhani from his father. Both indicate the great honor bestowed upon the parents of one who memorizes the Quran and acts upon it on the Day of Resurrection, as they will be adorned with a crown of light. This is because they were the cause of the memorizer's existence. A husband who helps his wife memorize the Quran will be rewarded for it, as it is an act of assisting in goodness.
