The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Lord says, 'Whoever is occupied with the Quran and remembrance of Me, kept thereby from petitioning Me, I will give him better than what I give to those who ask. The superiority of the speech of Allah over all other speech is like the superiority of Allah over His creation.'"
حدثنا محمد بن إسمعيل حدثنا شهاب بن عباد العبدي حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أبي يزيد الهمداني عن عمرو بن قيس عن عطية
قال رسول الله ﷺ يقول الرب عز وجل من شغله القرآن وذكري عن مسألتي أعطيته أفضل ما أعطي السائلين وفضل كلام الله على سائر الكلام كفضل الله على خلقه
