Bismillah
A'isha (radiAllahu anha [you were right!]) said that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Reciting the Qur'an during prayer is more excellent than reciting it at other times, and reciting Qur'an at a time other than prayer is more excellent than extolling Allah and declaring His Greatness. Extolling Allah is more excellent than sadaqah, sadaqah is more excellent than fasting, and fasting is a protection from Hell"
[bayhaqi Shu'ab al-Iman, Mishkat al Masabih #2166]
