Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Those who recite the Quran can be classified into three groups: 1- The first group are those who recite the Quran in order to earn a living, and demand a salary from the kings, and act haughty with the people. 2- The second group are those who recite the Quran and memorize it, but violate its principles in their life. 3- The third group are those who recite the Quran, use it as a spiritual medication for their soul, stay up at night with the Quran, and stay thirsty during the day, stand up to the Quran in the Mosque, and do not go to bed in respect for the Quran. God will fend off calamities (from the people) for their sake, and protect (the people) from the wickedness of the enemies due to their blessings. God will send down rain due to their blessings. I swear by God that those people are really rare among those who recite the Quran.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام): قراء القرآن ثلاثة: رجل قرأ القرآن فاتخذه بضاعة واستدر به الملوك واستطال به على الناس، ورجل قرأ القرآن فحفظ حروفه وضيع حدوده، ورجل قرأ القرآن فوضع دواء القرآن على داء قلبه وأسهر به ليله وأظمأ به نهاره وقام به في مساجده وتجافى به عن فراشه، فبأولئك يدفع الله عز وجل البلاء، وبأولئك يديل لله من الأعداء، وبأولئك ينزل الله الغيث من السماء، والله لهؤلاء في قراءة القرآن أعز من الكبريت الأحمر.
