[4/1565] al-Khisal: Ahmad b. Ziyad b. Ja’far al-Hamdani from Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. Salim from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said
The Qurrāʾ are three: A Qāriʾ who memorized the Qur’an so as to attract by it the rulers (to himself) and gain by it prominence over the masses. So that one is among the inmates of the Fire. A Qāriʾ who memorized the Qur’an so he preserves its letters but neglects its bounds. So that one is among the inmates of the Fire. And a Qāriʾ who memorized the Qur’an so he hides with it under his hooded-cloak (i.e. to not be known). He acts by its Muḥkam (clear verses), believes in its Mutashābih (ambiguous verses), upholds its Faraiḍ (obligations), deems permissible its Ḥalāl, and forbids its Ḥarām. So this one is of those whom Allah saves from the misguiding trials, and he is among the inmates of the Garden, and he intercedes for whomsoever he wishes
[1565/4] الخصال: حدثنا أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
القراء ثلاثة: قارئ قرأ (القرآن) ليستدر به الملوك ويستطيل به على الناس فذاك من أهل النار، وقارئ قرأ القرآن فحفظ حروفه وضيع حدوده فذاك من أهل النار، وقارئ قرأ (القرآن) فاستتر به تحت برنسه فهو يعمل بمحكمه ويؤمن بمتشابهه ويقيم فرائضه ويحل حلاله ويحرم حرامه فهذا ممن ينقذه الله من مضلات الفتن، وهو من أهل الجنة، ويشفع فيمن شاء
