Sunan Abi Dawud 1388 (Book 6, Hadith 18) #21680
Reciting the Quran in a Timely Manner

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr to complete the recitation of the Qu'ran in a certain amount of time, depending on his strength and energy.

Narrated 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr: The Prophet as saying to him: Complete the recitation of the Qu'ran in one month. He said: I have more strength. He (the Prophet) said: Complete the recitation in twenty days. He again said: I have more energy. He said : Recite in fifteen days. He again said: I have more energy. He said: Recite in ten days. He again said: I have more energy. He said: Recite in seven days, do not add to it. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Muslim is more perfect.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ اقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي شَهْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ فِي عِشْرِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ فِي عَشْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ فِي سَبْعٍ وَلاَ تَزِيدَنَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَحَدِيثُ مُسْلِمٍ أَتَمُّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to recite the Quran in an efficient manner. The Prophet Muhammad advised Abd Allah b. Amr to complete the recitation of the Quran within a certain amount of time depending on his strength and energy level. He started with one month but then reduced it down to seven days when he realized that Abd Allah had more strength than he initially thought. This hadith teaches us that we should use our strengths and abilities wisely and efficiently when it comes to religious practices such as reciting or reading from the Quran so that we can maximize our efforts while still being mindful of our limitations as human beings. It also encourages us to be honest with ourselves about what we are capable of doing so that we can make sure that we are not overworking ourselves or taking on too much at once without being able to handle it properly.
