Muslim bin Mikhraq (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): Some people recite the whole Qur'an two or three times in one night. She said: Their reciting and not reciting are the same. I stood (in prayer) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a whole night, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah al-Baqarah, Al Imran and al-Nisa'. Whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed a verse containing glad tidings, he would supplicate and express his longing, and whenever he came to a verse containing a warning, he would also supplicate and seek refuge.
