Question

Where and what is the hadith which says a Hafiz of Quran Sharif parents will get a crown on Qiyamat day which will be more radiant then the sun?

Answer

The hadith is in Mishkatul Masabeeh, p. 186 on the authority of Musnad Ahmad and the Sunan of Abu Dawood.  The words are:

“Whosoever learns the Qur’an and practices upon what’s in it, then on the Day of Judgement his parents will be made to wear a crown which will be more radiant than the sun if it were to be in your home, so what do you think of the person who has practiced upon it?”
