Benefits from the Hadith

  • The Hadīth points out the merit of reciting the Qur’an during the prayer.
  • Righteous deeds are better and longer lasting than transient worldly pleasures.
  • This merit is not restricted to the recitation of three verses only. Rather, the more verses a person recites in his prayer, the greater reward he gets, which is better than having the same number of such she-camels.
