[Machine] I said to Aisha, "O mother of the believers, indeed there are people who recite the Qur'an two or three times in one night." She replied, "Those who recite but do not recite as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand the entire night and recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa. He would not pass by a verse that had glad tidings without supplicating to Allah, nor would he pass by a verse that had warning without seeking refuge in Allah."  

أحمد:٢٤٨٧٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَةَ التَّمَامَ فَيَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَسُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ وَسُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ ثُمَّ لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللهَ ﷻ وَرَغِبَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخْوِيفٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللهَ ﷻ وَاسْتَعَاذَ

[Machine] "Some people used to recite the Qur'an once or twice during the night. A woman said: 'Those people have recited, but I have not. I used to stay awake with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the full moon, and he used to recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa'. Whenever he passed by a verse that had fear in it, he would seek refuge with Allah and whenever he passed by a verse that had glad tidings in it, he would supplicate to Allah and express his desire towards Him."

[Machine] to Aishah, the Prophet's wife, "Indeed, there are men who would recite the Quran two or three times in one night." She said, "Those people have recited, but I used to stay up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in complete darkness, and he would recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa. When he would come across a verse that mentions glad tidings, he would supplicate and show delight. And when he would come across a verse that mentions threats or warnings, he would supplicate and seek refuge."
