And the Prophet ﷺ said, “A man to whom Allah has granted the Qur’an so that he stands with it through the watches of the night and the hours of the day, and another man who says, ‘If I were given what he has been given, I would do what he is doing.’” In this ḥadīth he made it clear that a person’s devotion to the Book—his rising with it—counts as his deed.
