Are there any Hadiths mentioning the benefits of reciting the Quran in Maqaamat? Can they be traced back to Imam Ali (AS)?

In al-Kafi, it is related that Imam al-Sadiq said that the Prophet said: "Recite the Qur'an according to the tones and sounds of the Arabs. Beware of using melodies belonging to people who transgress or commit misdeeds. For, after me, different peoples will chant the Qur'an in a singing and cooing fashion. The monks' incantations are also not allowed for it, for their hearts are facing the wrong way, as are the hearts of those who admire them."

So this is the general idea of maqamat, which are the traditional musical modes of the Arabs, although not exactly mentioning maqamat in detail.
