The Hafiz of the Quran has such a rank in this world that he is one of only two types of people considered worthy of envy.
Under the Chapter of the Blessedness of the Holy Quran's keeper in Sahih Bukhari is the following hadith:
"Abu Hurairah (R.A) narrated that Rasulullah S.A.W said: There is no jealousy but of two men: A man whom Allah has taught the Quran and he recites is during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and his neighbour listens to him and says: "I wish I had been given what has been given to so-and-so, in order that I might do what he does; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it on what is just and right, whereupon another man may say: "I wish I had been given what so-and-so has been given, for then I would do what he does" (Sahih Bukhari).
In a riwaayah from Tirmidhi listed in Muntakhab Ahadith is the following detail of the reward for reciting each letter of the Quran:
Abdullah ibn Masood R.A narrated that Rasulullah S.A.W said: He who reads one letter of the Quran it (becomes) for him a good deed, and a single good deed is rewarded (by Allah) by ten times the like thereof. I am not saying that Alif-Laam-Meem is (just) one word, but that Alif is a (separate) letter (word), Laam is a (separate) letter (word), and Meem is a (separate) letter (word). (Tirmidhi)
Mufti Ebrahim Desai (db) writes:
"For every alphabet of the Quran he had recited, he earned a minimum of ten rewards. The maximum reward is best known by Allah. The Quran has 6666 verses. Every verse has many alphabets. Imagine the number of alphabets a Hafiz recites. On an average of 3 alphabets per verse a Hafiz will recite approximately, 20,000 (twenty thousand) alphabets in the entire Quran. That multiplied by ten rewards per alphabet is 200,000 (two hundred thousand). In the course of memorising the Quran, a Hafiz makes great sacrifices. He recites one verse many times. If he had recited one verse at least 10 times, the reward of completing the Quran only once will be two million. Imagine how many times thereafter, a Hafiz recites the Quran, how many Taraweehs he performs, the rewards of all that is far beyond our very limited comprehension. Probably, mathematical figures will be exhausted but not the infinite rewards of Allah for a Hafiz of the Qur'aan."
ON THE DAY OF QIYAMAH
"Mu'aadh al-Juhani narrates that Rasulullah R.A.W said, 'Whosoever recites the Quran and practices upon its injunctions, the reciter's parents will be given a crown on the day of Qiyaamat. The brightness of that crown will be more intense than the brightness of the sun in your actual house.'
Rasulullah S.A.W further said, 'What do you think will be given to the Hafiz (reciter) of the Quran himself?'" (Mishkaat Vol I.)
