Does the Reciter Himself Also Receive Reward after Gifting It to Others?

Question

Someone recited the entire Noble Qur’an and gave all of [its reward] as isal al-thawab, and whenever he recites, he gives all of it as isal al-thawab. Will anything remain for the reciter and will he receive reward, or will he be left completely empty-handed? And if he does receive it, how much will he receive?

Answer

However many of the dead he gifts the reward to, he too will receive reward equal to their number.
