Will one be rewarded for having intended to recite a portion of the Quran after Fajr, but then died before doing so, or will one be rewarded for completing the recitation of the entire Quran, which he was accustomed to finishing every Ramadan?

This is supported by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has recorded good deeds and evil deeds, and then He clarified that. So, whoever intended to do a good deed but did not do it, Allah records it for him as a complete good deed."
