What is the reward for the memorizer of the Noble Qur'an, and will he intercede for ten of his family members for whom Hellfire has been destined, and is there any other reward for him?
The virtue of memorizing the Qur'an is immense, and its bearer who acts upon it hopes for a trade that will never perish. The Qur'an will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor and a pleader on behalf of its companion. It will be said to the memorizer of the Qur'an on the Day of Resurrection: "Recite and ascend, and recite distinctly as you used to recite distinctly in the world, for your rank is at the last verse you recite." And among Allah's honors bestowed upon him is that He will allow him to intercede for his family and loved ones. This intercession is not exclusive to him but is for the righteous whom Allah has permitted. It has not been definitively established that the memorizer of the Qur'an intercedes for a specific number of people, although a weak mentions that he will intercede for ten of his family members.
