Sunan Abi Dawud 1390 (Book 6, Hadith 20) #21682
Reciting the Qur'an with Understanding

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised Abdullah ibn Amr to recite the Qur'an in one month, but Abdullah wanted to do it faster. The Prophet ﷺ warned him that if he recited it in less than three days, he would not understand it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: Yazid ibn Abdullah said that Abdullah ibn Amr asked the Prophet : In how many days should I complete the recitation of the whole Qur'an, Messenger of Allah? He replied: In one month. He said: I am more energetic to complete it in a period less than this. He kept on repeating these words and lessening the period until he said: Complete its recitation in seven days. He again said: I am more energetic to complete it in a period less than this. The Prophet said: He who finishes the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days does not understand it.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي كَمْ أَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ ‏"‏ فِي شَهْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ - يُرَدِّدُ الْكَلاَمَ أَبُو مُوسَى - وَتَنَاقَصَهُ حَتَّى قَالَ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْهُ فِي سَبْعٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of understanding when reciting the Quran. It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr who asked the Prophet Muhammad how long it should take him to recite the entire Quran. The Prophet advised him to complete its recitation in one month, but Abdullah wanted to do it faster and kept reducing his time until he said seven days. However, the Prophet warned him that if he finished reading in less than three days then he would not understand what was being read. This hadith teaches us that we should take our time when reading and understanding Allah's words so that we can truly appreciate them and benefit from them spiritually and emotionally. We should also remember that Allah's words are precious and should be treated with respect by taking our time when reading them so as not to rush through without fully comprehending their meaning or beauty.
