Abu Sa'id Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam narrated in a Hadith Qudsi that Rabb Tabaraka wa Ta'ala, says: He who is unable to do my Dhikr and make supplications because of pre-occupation with the Qur'an, I grant him better than what is given to the supplicators. The Excellence of Allah's words (Al-Qur'an) over all other words is like the Excellence of Allah over all His creations. (Tirmidhi: 2926)
