1333. It was reported from 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir Al-Juhānī, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The one who recites the Qur'an loudly is like the one who gives charity openly, and the one who recites silently is like the one who gives charity secretly.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

1333 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ، كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَالْمُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ، كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»

Commentary

Divine reward for a deed of virtue depends on the intent of the doer. If the purpose of loud recitation of the Qur'an is to exhort and awaken interest in others, it is an act permissible and deserving of reward or else, not.
