The Prophet, may the praise and salutations of Allah be upon him, himself stated as part of a longer authentic narration of a supplication he made to Allaah, {…and make the Qur’aan a spring for my heart and the light of my chest} [Narrated by Imaam Ahmad in his al-Musnad (3712) with this wording, as well as by al-Haakim in his al-Mustaadrak vol. 1/pg. 509] This hadeeth has tremendous benefit for us if we understand its meaning. From those acknowledged scholars of earlier centuries who explained his supplication, was Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, saying,[al-Fawai’d, pg. 26]
“ As for his words {…and make the Qur’aan a spring for my heart and the light of my chest} then just as those seasonal spring rains revive the earth, there can be a similar effect from the Qur’aan upon the life of one’s heart. “
