Sunan an-Nasai 994 (Book 11, Hadith 119) #15602
Reciting the Quran Guarantees Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) heard a man reciting a verse from the Quran and guaranteed him Paradise.

It was narrated that Ubaid bin Hunain, the freed slave of the family of Zaib bin Al-Khattab, said: "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'I came back (from a journey) with the Messenger of Allah and he heard a man reciting 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One, Allah-us-Samad (the Self-Sufficient Master). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none equal or comparable unto Him'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is guaranteed'. We asked him: 'What, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Paradise'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، مَوْلَى آلِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَقْرَأُ ‏{‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ * اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ * لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ * وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ‏}‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ وَجَبَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْجَنَّةُ
