Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in Less Than Seven Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I read in al-Bukhari that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Ibn 'Umar not to recite the Qur'an in more than seven days. I complete a recitation every two days, and I have no work, and I have not neglected any obligation to my parents or my family. Is this permissible?
Answer:
It was 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, not 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As was diligent in standing in night prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to recite it in three nights of night prayer. As for recitation without prayer, the door is wide and it has no limit. However, the hadith is specifically regarding night prayer, that he should recite ten parts in every night; that is the most complete thing. If he recites it in three nights, that is better, and that is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) directed him to. Yes.
