Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

How often should one fast and how quickly should do the khatm of the Quran

ahmad:6775Bahz > Hammām > Qatādah > Yazīd Akhī Muṭarrif > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

He asked the Prophet ﷺ: “In how many days should I ˹complete˺ the Quran?” He mentioned the hadith, saying: until he said: “In seven ˹days˺; he does not understand who recites it in less than three.” He said: “How should I fast?” He said: “Fast three days of every month, one day out of every ten days, and the reward of nine days will be recorded for you.” He said: “I am stronger than that.” He said: “Then fast two days out of every ten, and the reward of eight days will be recorded for you,” until it reached five days.

أحمد:٦٧٧٥حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ أَخِي مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ: فِي كَمْ أَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: حَتَّى قَالَ: «فِي سَبْعٍ، لَا يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ». وَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَصُومُ؟ قَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ». قَالَ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ يَوْمَيْنِ، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ»، حَتَّى بَلَغَ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
