Uthman’s completion of the Qur’an in one night and following his example
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that he used to pray at night and complete the recitation of the Qur’an every night. Is this practice done throughout the year, or did he do it only once?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best, but it is reported that he recited the entire Qur’an in a single rak’ah. Yes.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah protect you: Is it prescribed for me to do this, following the example of this righteous caliph?
The Shaykh:
If you are able to do it, then do it. Yes.
