 حَدَّثَنِی جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ قَائِماً فِی صَلَاتِهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِائَهَ حَسَنَهٍ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِی صَلَاتِهِ جَالِساً کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ حَرْفٍ خَمْسِینَ حَسَنَهً وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِی غَیْرِ صَلَاتِهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ.

1. It was narrated to me by Ja’far b. Muhammad b. Masruq who said it was narrated to me by al-Hassan b. Muhammad b. ’Amir from his uncle Abdillah b. ’Amir from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Abdillah b. Sulayman from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who recites the Holy Quran while standing in Salaat, Allah would grant him one hundred rewards for each alphabet and if a person recites the Holy Quran while sitting in Salaat, Allah would grant him fifty rewards for each alphabet. One who recites the Holy Quran apart from Salaat, Allah would grant him ten rewards for each letter.”
