The virtues in the recitation of certain surahs and ayats [Detailed with References]
Benefits of the surahs :
Tameem ad-Dari (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “Whoever recites (in prayer) with a hundred verses in a night, it will be written for him as devout obedience to Allah for the night.”
Abdullah bin Mas’ud (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “Whoever recites one letter from the Book of Allah then he will receive a good reward, and every good deed is rewarded with ten times its like. I do not say that Alif Laam Meem is one word but Alif is one word, Laam is one word and Meem is one word.”
Ibn Imran (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “Whoever recites the Qur’an then let him ask from Allah by it, for there will come a people who recite the Qur’an and will the ask from people by it.”
A’isha (radiAllahu anha) that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Reciting the Qur’an during prayer is more excellent than reciting it at other times, and reciting the Qur’an at a time other than during prayer is more excellent than extolling Allah and declaring His greatness. Extolling Allah is more excellent than sadaqah, sadaqah is more excellent than fasting, and fasting is a protection from Hell.
