Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said: I prefer to recite the Qur'an in one month rather than in fifteen days, and I prefer to recite it in fifteen days rather than in ten days, and I prefer to recite it in ten days rather than in seven days. I will pause where it is necessary to pause, and I will supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and ask of Him.
