Riyad as-Salihin, 994
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur'an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels) and he who recites the Qur'an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have two rewards." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
الذي يقرأ القرآن وهو ماهر به مع السفرة الكرام البررة، والذي يقرأ القرآن ويتتعتع فيه وهو عليه شاق له أجران
((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It shows the merit of those who recite the Qur’an. They always get a reward, whether they recite it skilfully or otherwise.<br>
2) The reward depends on the difficulty and benefit involved. There is the benefit of the recitation itself, and there is patience over the difficulty.<br>
3) A skillful reciter of the Qur’an is with the noble angels, a great merit indeed.
