As-Salaam alaykum,
In Ayat 269 of Surat Baqra of the Holy Qur'an (2:269), Allah, Azzah Wa Jallah, says:--

"...AND HE WHO IS GIVEN WISDOM HAS BEEN GIVEN MUCH GOOD."

When Sayyadi Sahl Ibn Abdullah al-Tustari, may Allah be Merciful to him, was asked about these words, he said: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated from the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, that he said: "The Qur'an is Allah's Wisdom (hikma) among His Servants. Whoever learns the Qur'an and acts according to it, it is as if Prophethood were incorporated within him, except that he does not receive revelation. He is called to account in the same way as the Prophets except in the matter of conveying the message."

And Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, also stated that the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: "The Qur'an is wisdom, and whoever learns the Qur'an in his youth, it mingles with his flesh and blood. And surely the Fire cannot touch a heart which contains the Qur'an, nor a body which avoids that which it prohibits (maharim), and keeps to what it permits (halal), refrains from judgement in that which is ambiguous [in it] (mutashabih), and does not make innovations regarding it."
