1
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَوَامِّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ فِی الْمُصْحَفِ نَظَراً مُتِّعَ بِبَصَرِهِ وَ خُفِّفَ عَنْ وَالِدَیْهِ وَ إِنْ کَانَا کَافِرَیْنِ.
1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from a man from the general populace who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites the Holy Quran by looking at it, his eyes will become stronger and the chastisement of his parents would be reduced even if they had been disbelievers.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ: لَیْسَ شَیْ ءٌ أَشَدَّ عَلَی الشَّیْطَانِ مِنْ قِرَاءَهِ الْمُصْحَفِ نَظَراً.
2. And from the previous chain who raised it to The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) who said: “There is nothing more severe for Satan except a person reciting the Holy Quran by looking at it.”
