One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
I have
a question i know that we get hasanat (reward)or good deeds for reading the
quran , Do we also get hasanat for listening to quran?

Answer:
Reward for recite or
hear quran
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verse 204:
When the Quran is recited
to you, listen to it with attention and keep silent. It may be that you also are blessed with
mercy.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah
Zumar verses 17-18:
17 Those who eschew evil and fall not into its worship and turn to
Allah (in repentance) for them is Good News: so announce the Good News to My servants
18 Those who listen to
the Word (of Allah) and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones
endued with understanding.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verses 83-85:
83 And when they listen
to the Revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see
their eyes overflowing with tears for they recognize the Truth: they pray:
"O Our Lord! We believe; write us down among the witnesses.
84 What cause can we have not to believe in Allah and the Truth which
has come to us ,seeing that we long for our Lord to admit us to the company of
the righteous?"
85 And for this their prayer hath Allah rewarded them with Gardens with
rivers flowing underneath: their eternal home.
Such is the recompense of those who do good.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verses 105-109:
105 We sent down the (Qur'an) in Truth and in Truth has it descended:
and We sent thee but to give glad tidings (to the believers) and to warn (the sinners).
106 (It is) a Qur'an which We have divided (into parts from time to
time) in order that thou might recite
it to men at intervals: We have revealed it by stages.
107 Say: "Whether ye believe in it or not it is True that those who
were given knowledge beforehand when
it (The Quran) is recited to them fall down on their faces in humble
prostration"
108 And say: "Glory to our Lord! Truly
has the promise of our Lord been fulfilled!"
109 They fall down on their faces in tears
and it increases their (earnest) humility.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.106 Narrated by Abdullah bin Masud
Allah's Messenger (saws) said to me,
"Recite (of the Qur'an) for me," I said, "O Messenger of Allah
(saws)! Shall I recite it to you although it had been revealed to you?" He (saws) said, "I like to hear
(the Qur'an) from others." So
I recited
In light of the above guidance of the Quran and the
Sunnah, without an iota of a doubt, if one recites or listens to the recitation
of the Glorious Quran with the intention to seek guidance, one would be assured
of receiving their due reward from their Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
