Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: It is reported in a hadith that it is said to the one who possesses the Qur'an when he enters Paradise, "Read and ascend, for your dwelling is at the last verse you read." Is this specific to the one who has memorized the Qur'an, or does it apply to the one who recites it frequently even if he has not memorized it?
Answer:
I do not know of the authenticity of this; it is on the tongues of preachers and on the tongues of some authors, and I do not know of its authenticity. But what is reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is authentic, is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): the one who departs. This is the statement regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
And in the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. Yes.

With the Qur'an, along with the noble, purified angels. And the one who recites the Qur'an and it is difficult for him, and he stammers over it and it is difficult for him, he has two rewards.
بالقرآن مع السفرة الكرام البراء، والذي يقرأ القرآن وهو عليه شاق ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجرانAnd in the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he has a good deed, and the good deed is multiplied tenfold. I do not say "Alif-Lam-Mim" is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.
من قرأ حرفا من كتاب الله فله حسنة، والحسنة بأشهر أمثالها، لا أقول ألف لام ميم حرف، ولكن ألف حرف، ولام حرف، وميم حرف
