[1557/8] الكافي: محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن الحسن بن علي، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام قال: من قرأ مائة آية يصلي بها في ليلة كتب الله عز وجل له بها قنوت ليلة ومن قرأ مائتي آية في غير صلاة لم يحاجه القرآن يوم القيامة ومن قرأ خمسمائة آية في يوم وليلة في صلاة النهار والليل كتب الله عز وجل له في اللوح المحفوظ قنطارا من الحسنات والقنطار ألف ومائتا أو قية والاوقية أعظم من جبل أحد

[8/1557] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hasan b. Ali from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: The one who recites a hundred verses in his prayers at night - Allah Mighty and Majestic records for him devotion of the whole night (in reward) for it. The one who recites two hundred verses [at night] outside (his) prayers - the Qur’an will not dispute against him on the Day of Judgment. And the one who recites five hundred verses (total) in his prayers by day and at night - Allah Mighty and Majestic records for him in the Preserved Tablet a Qinṭār of good-deeds, and a Qinṭār is a thousand and two hundred Ūqiyya, and a (single) Ūqiyya is greater than the mountain of Uhud
