Reading Hadiths Carries Reward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Evidence has come regarding the reward for reading the Noble Qur'an. Is there a reward for reading the Prophetic hadiths?
Answer:
Yes, reading all knowledge carries reward. Learning knowledge and seeking knowledge through the Noble Qur'an and through the Sunnah carries a great reward. Knowledge is taken from the Book and from the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1452Sahih (Al-Albani). There are many hadiths regarding reading the Noble Qur'an, among them the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , narrated by Muslim.
And one day he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. This indicates the virtue of learning the Noble Qur'an and reading the Noble Qur'an.
And in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud:Riyad as-Salihin 999.
Thus, when the believer learns the Sunnah, reads the hadiths, and studies them, he has a great reward; because this is part of learning knowledge. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2699a. This indicates that studying knowledge, memorizing hadiths, and reviewing them are among the causes of entering Paradise and being saved from the Fire. And so is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1037a, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Understanding the religion is achieved through the Book and through the Sunnah. Understanding the Sunnah is among the indications that Allah intends good for the servant, just as understanding the Noble Qur'an is an indication of that. The evidence for this is abundant, and praise be to Allah.

The best among you is he who learns and teaches the Qur'an.
خيركم من تعلم القرآن وعلمهRead the Qur'an, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions.
اقرءوا القرآن، فإنه يأتي شفيعًا لأصحابه يوم القيامةAnd one day he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Would any of you like to go to Batahan—a valley in Madinah—and come back with two large camels, without committing a sin or severing family ties? They said: We all like that, O Messenger of Allah. He said: It is better for one of you to go to the mosque and learn two verses from the Book of Allah than to have two large camels, and three verses are better than three camels, and four verses are better than four camels, and so on for the number of verses and the number of camels.
أيحب أحدكم أن يذهب إلى بطحان -وادٍ في المدينة- فيأتي بناقتين عظيمتين في غير إثم ولا قطيعة رحم؟ فقالوا: كلنا يحب ذلك يا رسول الله، فقال: لأن يذهب أحدكم إلى المسجد فيتعلم آيتين من كتاب الله خير له من ناقتين عظيمتين، وثلاث خير من ثلاث، وأربع خير من أربع، ومن أعدادهن من الإبلAnd in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud:
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 قرأ حرفًا من القرآن فله حسنة، والحسنة بعشر أمثالهاThus, when the believer learns the Sunnah, reads the hadiths, and studies them, he has a great reward; because this is part of learning knowledge. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him
من سلك طريقًا يلتمس فيه علمًا سهل الله له به طريقًا إلى الجنةHe upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion
من يرد الله به خيرًا يفقه في الدين
