"From Abu al-Fadl Yazi' ibn 'Ubayd ibn Yazi' al-Bazzari al-Muqri', who said: I recited to Sulayman ibn Musa, and he took five from me, counting them on his hand, then said: That is enough for you. I said: Add more. He said: I recited to Sulaym ibn 'Isa, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. He said: Add more. He said to me: I recited to Hamzah ibn Habib al-Zayyat, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. I said: Add more. He said: I recited to Sulayman, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. I said: Add more. He said: I recited to Yahya ibn Wathhab, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. I said: Add more. He said: I recited to Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. I said: Add more. He said to me: I recited to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he took five from me and said: That is enough. I said: O Commander of the Faithful, add more. He said to me: That is enough. Thus the Quran was revealed five by five. Whoever memorises it five by five will not forget it, except Surah al-An'am, for it was revealed all at once, in a thousand [verses], escorted from every heaven by seventy angels, until they delivered it to the Prophet ﷺ. It has never been recited over a sick person except that Allah cured him ﷻ."
