Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I compiled the Qur'an and recited it all in one night. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said: Recite the entire Qur'an in a month. The narrator says: I submitted, O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to benefit from my strength and youth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite the entire Qur'an in twenty days. I submitted, O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to benefit from my strength and youth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite it in ten days. I submitted, O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to benefit from my strength and youth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite it in seven days. I submitted, O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to benefit from my strength and youth, but the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not accept this from me.
