Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in One Rak'ah or in a Few Nights, and the Command to Recite with Measured Pace

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is narrated from Uthman that he recited the Qur'an in one rak'ah, and al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) used to complete sixty recitations in Ramadan. It is also reported from al-Bukhari that he would complete a recitation in prayer every three nights, and that was in Ramadan. His question is: Does this contradict what has come regarding the command to recite the Qur'an with measured pace (tartil)?

Answer:
No, no, no, it does not conflict with reciting the Qur'an with measured pace. They recite it with tartil and read the whole of it. The night is long; one can read the Qur'an in ten hours. It is permissible for it to take a third of an hour, at a moderate pace, a third of an hour, and one reads it in ten hours. And how many hours is the night? It is long. Then these are karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) that Allah performs through the hands of the awliya (close friends of Allah), and we do not measure them by our own condition. We do not measure Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) by our condition, nor do we measure the companions of al-Shafi'i by any condition. These are people whom Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has honored and enabled, making it easy for them. Yes.
