[2/-] al-Kafi: A number of our companions from Ahmad b. Muhammad and Sahl b. Ziyad all together from Ibn Mahbub from Jamil b. Salih from al-Fudhayl b. Yasar from Abi Abdillahعليه السلام who said: Learn the Qur’an, for it (i.e. the Qur’an) will come to its Companion (i.e. the one who learnt it) on the Day of Judgment in the form of a handsome youth, pale in colour - and will say to him: ‘I am the Qur’an who used to keep awake your nights, make thirsty your mid-days, dry up your saliva, and cause your tears to over-flow. I will turn with you wherever you turn (i.e. accompany you constantly), for every merchant is behind (after) his merchandise (i.e. seeking profit for and from it), and I will be for you today the way every merchant is behind (after) his merchandise. There will come to you an Honour from Allah Mighty and Majestic so receive glad-tidings’. Then a crown will be brought and placed on his head (i.e. the Companion of the Qur’an), and he will be given the Writ of Security in his right hand, and the Writ to Eternity in the Gardens in his left hand, and he will be attired with two robes. Then it will be said to him (i.e. the Companion of the Qur’an): ‘Recite and ascend!’, so every time he recites a verse he ascends a level. And his two parents will also be attired with two robes if they are believers, then it will be said to them both: ‘This is because you (pl.) taught him the Qur’an’

Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
