Is it true that some of the Companions and the Tabi'un used to recite the Qur'an in a day and a night, and some of them used to recite it in a single day?

Question:
I read in a book that there were people among the Companions and the Tabi'un who used to recite the Qur'an in a day and a night, and some of them used to recite it in a single day. Is this true?

Answer:
It is possible, and Allah knows best. There is nothing to prevent it if one devotes himself to recitation and has no other occupation besides it. One can complete a recitation of the Qur'an in a day and a night, or in a single day. This depends on what Allah the Exalted grants the Muslim in terms of energy, strength, and memorization of the Book of Allah the Glorious. Is there a specific time limit for memorizing the Qur'an? This varies among reciters. However, it is better and more desirable for a person to recite with a measured, melodious pace, to reflect upon it, and to compose the recitation properly, so that it is not done hastily or with a rushed, hurried manner, nor with a rhythm like the rhythm of poetry, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the greatest sin?
He forbade memorizing the Qur'an in the manner of memorizing poetry. Also, the recitation of the Qur'an should not be done with excessive elongation or stretching it to the point of singing. Rather, the Qur'an should be recited in the appropriate manner, which is neither memorization in the style of poetry nor excessive elongation, while observing the letters and adhering to the rules of tajwid as much as possible. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
