Hadith on Quran: The Quran is an intercessor, truthful prosecutor

Jabir reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Quran is an intercessor and a truthful prosecutor. Whoever puts it in front of himself, it will lead him to Paradise. Whoever throws it behind his back, it will drive him into the Hellfire.
