Sunan Ibn Majah 1346 (Book 5, Hadith 544) #30698
Reciting the Quran Over Time

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advising Abdullah bin 'Amr to recite the Quran over a period of time instead of all at once.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "I memorized the Qur’an and recited it all in one night. The Messenger of Allah said: 'I am afraid that you may live a long life and that you may get bored. Recite it over the period of a month.’ I said: 'Let me benefit from my strength in my youth.’ He said: 'Recite it in ten days.’ I said: 'Let me benefit from my strength and my youth.’ He said: 'Recite it in seven days.’ I said: 'Let me benefit from my strength and my youth,’ but he refused (to alter it any further)".
