Ibn Qayyim said: "It is well known that hearing the recital of the Qur'an is one of the best (righteous) actions from the deeds that are righteous; and when his death has cut off all his actions then how could this action have been left out? If there had been such a possibility (allowance of this deed of reciting the Qur'an at the grave) , then the Salaf-us-Saaliheen, the Sahabah and the Taabi'een and those who followed them would not have been deprived of this tremendous and marvelous action. They were those who would pounce on every righteous deed and were most greedy of performing the good.
And if there was any khayr (benefit) in (reciting the Qur'an at the graves) those who preceded us would have most assuredly acted upon it.... "
