Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29104

Ubaid bin Asbat bin Muhammad al-Qurashi told us, he said, my father told us, on the authority of Mutarrif, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, on the authority of Abu Burdah, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, he said: I said, O Messenger of God, how long should I recite the Qur’an? He said: “Complete it in a month.” I said: I am capable of doing better than that. He said: “Seal it in twenty.” I said, “I am able to do better than that.” He said, “Seal it in fifteen.” I said, “I am able to do better than that.” From that. He said, “Conclude it in ten.” I said, “I am capable of doing better than that.” He said, “Conclude it in five.” I said, “I am I can stand better than That. He said, so he did not give me permission. Abu Issa said: This is a hasan, authentic, and strange hadith. It is strange from the hadith of Abu Burdah on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr. This hadith was narrated in more than one way, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, and it was narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said “No one who recites the Qur’an in less than three times will understand it.” It was narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him, “Read The Qur’an is in forty days. Ishaq bin Ibrahim said, “And we do not like a man to have more than forty days.” He recites the Qur’an for this hadith. Some people of knowledge said that the Qur’an should not be recited in less than three days, because of the hadith that was narrated on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. Some scholars permitted it, and it was narrated on the authority of Uthman ibn Affan that he used to recite the Qur’an in a rak’ah with which he would recite the Witr prayer, and it was narrated that On the authority of Saeed bin Jubayr that he recited the Qur’an in a rak’ah in the Kaaba, and chanting during recitation is more beloved to the people of knowledge.
