Is the reward for listening to the Qur'an the same as the reward for reciting it?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner from the Yemeni Republic, Hayah, says in this question: I recite the Noble Qur'an, praise be to Allah, and I perform the prayer at its times, and I thank Allah for that, as I recite the Qur'an a lot. Sometimes I recite it without focus or deep reflection, and I listen to the Qur'an from the recorder, and I focus on it and listen to it and understand its meaning more than when I recite it. The question remains: Is listening to the Qur'an like reciting it? Please inform us of that.

Answer:
Reciting it is better than listening to it; because for every letter he recites, he receives a good deed, and a good deed is rewarded tenfold. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who recites the Qur'an while it is difficult for him and he stumbles over it has two rewards. So there is no doubt that reciting the Qur'an is better than listening to the reciter, even though listening to the reciter also carries reward and virtue, provided one is present in heart and reflects, and listens attentively, as He said: Yes.
