In the Holy Qur'an
(It is) a blessed Book that We have sent down to you, so that they may contemplate its signs, and that those who posses intellect may take admonishment. (38:29)
In the Traditions
The Prophet with regards to Allah's verse in the Quran "and recite they Quran in a measured tone" said, "Recite it clearly, do not disperse it prosaically, nor rave it like raving poetry. Stop where it mentions wonders, and move the hearts with it, and do not let your only concern be (to finish) the end of the chapter."
Imam Ali said, "Verly there is no good in reciation that does not have contemplation in it. Verly, there is no good in worship that does not have understanding."
