3782. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Wouldn't anyone of you like to find three great, fat pregnant she-camels when he returns to his family?" We said: "Yes." He said: "Three Verses that one of you recites during his prayer are better for him than three great, fat pregnant she-camels." (Sahih)
3782 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ أَنْ يَجِدَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ خَلِفَاتٍ عِظَامٍ سِمَانٍ؟» قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَثَلَاثُ آيَاتٍ يَقْرَؤُهُنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ثَلَاثِ خَلِفَاتٍ سِمَانٍ عِظَامٍ»

The benefit of the recitation of the Qur'an is so great that huge wealth of this world comparing to its reward is very insignificant. Pregnant she-camels are mentioned, since Arabs at that time considered it the most precious and valued of possessions. Recitation during the prayers is more rewarding than the recitation out of the prayers.
