وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ: قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ: إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا أَقْوَامًا يَقْرَؤُونَ الْقُرْآنَ: مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثًا فِي لَيْلَةٍ، فَقَالَتْ: أُولَئِكَ قَوْمٌ قَرَؤُوا، وَلَمْ يَقْرَؤُوا، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا أَقُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي اللَّيْلِ التِّمَامِ، فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ رَجَاءٍ إِلَّا سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ وَدَعَا، وَلَا بِآيَةِ تَخْوِيفٍ إِلَّا دَعَا رَبَّهُ وَاسْتَعَاذَ

✧ I said to 'A'ishah ؓ: 'There are people among us who recite the Quran two or three times in a night.' She said: 'Those are people who recited but did not recite. I saw myself standing with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the entire night, and he would not pass by a verse of hope except that he asked his Lord and supplicated, nor a verse of fear except that he supplicated to his Lord and sought refuge.'
