Is the reward for recitation counted for one who reads with his eyes without moving his lips?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one who reads the Qur'an with his eyes only, without moving his lips, but merely opens the mushaf and is content with looking, does he get a reward for that? Or is the reward for recitation not counted for him?
Answer:
The reward for recitation is not counted for him, because recitation must be with the tongue; it must be with the tongue. However, he is written a reward commensurate with his action. Looking at the verses and following them is good, but it is not like recitation. Recitation has a great reward. Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he has a good deed, and the good deed is ten times its like. Recitation is with the tongue. Yes.
