It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that I memorized the Holy Qur'an and recited the entire Qur'an in one night. When the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, found out, he said: "I fear that after some time you will become weary. Complete the recitation of the Holy Qur'an once every month." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to benefit from my strength and youth." This continued, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stopped at twenty, ten, and seven days. I also requested permission for less than seven days, but the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, refused.
