أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
جَمَعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَرَأْتُ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «اقْرَأْ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ» فَقُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَسْتَمْتِعْ مِنْ قُوَّتِي وَشَبَابِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ عِشْرِينَ» قُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَسْتَمْتِعْ مِنْ قُوَّتِي وَشَبَابِي فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ عَشْرٍ» قُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَسْتَمْتِعْ مِنْ قُوَّتِي وَشَبَابِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعٍ» قُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَسْتَمْتِعْ مِنْ قُوَّتِي وَشَبَابِي فَأَبَى

✧ I gathered the Quran and started reciting it every night. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about this and he said to me, "Recite it in its entirety every month." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy my strength and youth." He replied, "Recite it in its entirety every twenty days." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy my strength and youth." He then said, "Recite it in its entirety every ten days." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy my strength and youth." He finally said, "Recite it in its entirety every seven days." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy my strength and youth." But he refused.
