A hadith and a man to whom Allah granted the Qur'an: is this specific to the one who memorizes it, or does it extend to the one who reads it?

The questioner : (peace and blessings be upon him), and a man to whom Allah granted the Qur'an, or who writes it: does this text contain an explicit indication that this reader is a memorizer of the Qur'an?

The Shaykh : What do you mean?

The questioner : Does this text contain an explicit indication that the reader is a memorizer of the Book of Allah?

The Shaykh : No, it does not. "To whom Allah granted the Qur'an" applies whether it is memorized by heart or recited from the mushaf; that is not a condition.
