The Excellence of Reciting the Qur'an
وَعَنْ اَلنَوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: يؤتى يوم القيامة بالقرآن وأهله الذين كانو يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا تَقْدُمُهُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ تحاجان عَن صَاحبهمَا ((رَوَاهُ مُسلم)).
An-Nawwas bin Sam'an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "The Qur'an and its people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Al-'Imran arguing on behalf of those who applied them." [Muslim].
