Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Amr narrates that a man sought permission to meet Hazrat Umar at noon. He did not grant him permission for quite some time. Then, he was granted permission. Hazrat Umar said to him, "I used to recite a portion of the Holy Qur'an at night, but I could not recite it last night, so I am reciting it at this time."
