A man who sleeps through his portion of Quran recitation: at what hour it is recommended to make it up

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If a man has a practice of reciting at night and is unable to do it, let him do it before Zuhr; in this way it is as though he did it at night.

Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm said: A man asked permission to come in to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) at midday. He did not give him permission for a long time; then he was given permission. Sayyiduna Umar said to him: I used to recite a portion of the Qur'an at night; I could not recite it last night, so I was reciting it at this time.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If a man misses some of his regular portion of night recitation, reciting it after the day has risen is just like reciting it at night.

Al-Qasim said: We used to visit Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) before the Fajr prayer. One day we came and she was praying. She said: I could not pray my regular portion last night, and I did not think it right to leave it, so I am praying it now.

Abu Salamah said: If a person misses some deed of his at night and makes it up before the sun passes its zenith, it is as though he has attained his deed.
