Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Burdah narrates that once Hazrat Mu’adh asked Hazrat Abu Musa, “How do you recite the Qur’an?” He replied, “I recite it in intervals; I do not complete my routine all at once.” Then Hazrat Mu’adh asked Hazrat Abu Musa, “How do you recite the Qur’an?” He replied, “I sleep in the early part of the night so that I may have the strength to wake up in the last part of the night. I believe that I receive as much reward for this sleep as I do for staying awake.”
