Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d said, “My father would sit, shins up, and continue sitting that way until completing the Quran.” in a single rak‘a: Those who completed the Quran during one rak‘a [of Prayer| are too numerous to count.
The early generations include ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan, Tamim al-Dari, and Sa‘ld ibn Jubayr (God Most High be well pleased with them), who completed it every rak’a inside the Ka‘ba. once A week: There are many who completed it once a week, as it is conveyed from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan, ‘Abdallah ibn Mas‘ud, Zayd ibn Thabit,Ubay ibn Ka‘b (God Most High be well pleased with them), and a group among the Successors, such as ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, ‘Alqama [ibn Qays ibn ‘Abdallah], and Ibrahim [ibn Yazid ibn Qays al-Nakha‘I] (God Most High grant him mercy).
The general rule: The preferred opinion is that [the amount one reads] may vary from person to person. If one finds subtleties and experiences [insight] by way of intricate reflection, then he should limit [himself] to the amount [of reading] in which he obtains a full understanding of what he reads.
This applies to anyone occupied with spreading knowledge or something else important to religion and the general welfare of Muslims: he limits [himself] to that which does not disrupt what he is capable of. Yet if one is not among these, then he should do as much as possible but not to the point of tedium and discontinue his recitation.
