Is there a virtue in reading the Noble Qur'an from the mushaf, similar to listening to it from tapes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Is there a virtue in reading the Noble Qur'an from the mushaf, similar to listening to it from tapes?

Answer:
Reading is better than listening. Reading is better because the person reads, pronouncing the letters and the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is better than listening, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward.من قرا حرفا من كتاب الله فله حسنه والحسنه بعشر امثالها
Riyad as-Salihin 999
Therefore, reading is better than listening, whether the listening is to a reciter or to a tape.
