أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الضَّبِّيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ: " اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فِي سَبْعٍ وَلَا تَقْرَءُوُهُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ، وَلْيُحَافِظِ الرَّجُلُ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَلَيْلَتِهِ عَلَى جُزْئِهِ " وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فِي ثَلَاثٍ، وَفِي غَيْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ ثَمَانٍ، وَعَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتِمُهُ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعٍ، وَعَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ فَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ.
