Will hafiz get more reward for offering namaz and will he recieve more punishment for missing his prayer than a person who is haafiz but knows eveything about importance of prayer?

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Offering Salaah is equally important for a hafiz and a non hafiz. The punishments for missing prayers are the same for everyone. However, the amount of reward a person receives depends on us. Things which increase the reward are: intentions; performing all Faraaidh, Waajibaat, Sunnah’s and Mustahibaat’s; praying with humility, sincerity, concentration, tranquility, khushoo and khudoo etc.
