Does the encouragement to recite Surat al-Baqarah and Surat Ali 'Imran mentioned in these hadiths imply memorization, or does it refer to reading from the mushaf?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. From the previous hadith... the intent is the encouragement for it... does it mean increasing the recitation?
The Shaykh : This includes both, and memorization is better than repeating the recitation. That is, if someone said, "I want to read al-Baqarah with my eyes and repeat it ten times, or I want to memorize it, but I can only memorize part of it and then complete it," we would say the second option is preferable. Unless it is said that in Ramadan, striving to complete the Qur'an is better, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to review it with Jibril in its entirety. Yes.
The student: Four.
The Shaykh : Four? Fine.
