حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "إِذَا قَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ الْقُرْآنَ نَهَارًا، صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ، وَإِنْ قَرَأَهُ لَيْلًا، صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ" . قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: فَرَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَنَا يُعْجِبُهُمْ أَنْ يَخْتِمُوهُ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ، وَأَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ .
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: When a person recites the Qur'an at the beginning of the day, the angels supplicate for him until the evening, and if he recites (i.e., completes) it at night, the angels supplicate for him until the morning. (A'mash) Sulaiman said: For this reason, we saw our contemporaries among our companions preferred to complete the Qur'an at the beginning of the day and at the beginning of the night.
