Is there anything in Islam to suggest that the one who memorises the Qur’aan with the numbers of its verses will have a greater reward than the one who is not like that?
Question

                I am sixteen years old and I have memorised the entire Qur’aan,
    praise be to Allah, but I want to memorise it with the numbers
    of its verses. Does the one who memorizes the Qur’aan with the
    numbers of its verses attain greater virtue than the one who
    memorises it without memorising the numbers of the verses?.
Praise be to Allah.
      Firstly: 
    

      We ask Allah to make you
      steadfast in adhering to goodness and guidance. 
    

      In the answer to questions no.
      14035 and 20803 we have discussed the
      reward for memorising the Qur’aan and the status of its
      bearers. We ask Allah not to deprive you of any of
      that. 
    

      Secondly: 
    

      There is no text in Islam to
      suggest that the one who memorises the Qur’aan with the
      numbers of its verses will attain a greater reward or a
      higher status than the one who memorises it without
      that. 
    

      Our advice to you is not to do
      that and not to focus on it, because it is a kind of showing
      off and time is too precious to spend it on something in
      which there is no point and will not benefit you in your
      religion or bring you closer to your Lord, may He be
      exalted. 
    

      You should pay attention to
      perfecting your recitation and memorisation, and striving to
      understand the verses and ponder their meanings, as well as
      paying attention to acting upon what it says in it, regarding
      as halaal what it permits and as haraam what it forbids, and
      following its commands and avoiding what it prohibits. Acting
      in accordance with the Qur’aan is the greatest aim behind
      reading it and memorising it. 
    

      It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah
      ibn Mas‘ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When one of
      us learned ten verses, he would not move on from them until
      he understood the meaning and acted upon them. 
    

      Abu ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami --
      one of the Taabi‘een -- said: Those who used to teach us the
      Qur’aan, such as ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan, ‘Abd-Allah ibn Mas‘ood
      and others, told us that when they learned ten verses from
      the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) they
      would not move on from them until they learned what was in
      them of knowledge and action. And they said: So we learned
      the Qur’aan and knowledge and action all together.
       
    

      And Allah knows
      best.
