“Recite and Rise”: The Rank of the Companion of the Qur'an

Sunan Abi Dawud 1464 reports that the companion of the Qur'an will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as in worldly life.

Evidence and guidance

Sunan Abi Dawud 1464 reports that the companion of the Qur'an will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as in worldly life. The grading displayed for this report is hasan sahih.

How to apply it

The hadith motivates hifz and lifelong companionship with revelation. Do not reduce “companion of the Qur'an” to a certificate or public title, and do not assign guaranteed ranks to particular people. Final judgment belongs to Allah.
