The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) points out that the reward for reciting three verses during the prayer is better for a person than finding three large, fat, pregnant she-camels in his house.Benefits
The Hadīth points out the merit of reciting the Qur’an during the prayer.
Righteous deeds are better and longer lasting than transient worldly pleasures.
This merit is not restricted to the recitation of three verses only. Rather, the more verses a person recites in his prayer, the greater reward he gets, which is better than having the same number of such she-camels.
