﷽
Imam Ibn Al Qayyim quoted one of the salaf saying:
The Quran was sent down to regulate the conduct of Allah’s servant, so make your recitation of it an avenue to acting upon it, for the real companions of the Quran are those who act upon it, even if they do not commit it to memory. As for those who memorize the Quran but comprehend it not and so do not heed its admonitions, they are not of the companions of the Quran, no matter how good they are at its recitation.
