Hazrat Ubaidullah bin Abdur Rahman bin Mawhib narrates that I heard Hazrat Muhammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurazi saying: Should I recite these Surahs: "Idha Zulzilatil Ardu" and Surah Al-Qari'ah? I recite both of them repeatedly and ponder over them; this is more beloved to me than reciting the Qur'an quickly.

Hazrat Thabit bin Qais narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz reciting the Qur'an: he would recite it slowly and with pauses.
