Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ ذُكِرَ لَهَا أَنَّ نَاسًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كُنْتُ أَقُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ التَّمَامِ فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَالنِّسَاءِ فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخَوُّفٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاسْتَعَاذَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَغِبَ إِلَيْهِ.
English Translation
Qutaybah bin Sa'id told us, saying Ibn Lahi'ah told us, from al-Harith bin Yazid, from Ziyad bin Nu'aym, from Muslim bin Mikhraq, from Aisha -- it was mentioned to her that some people recite the Qur'an in a single night once or twice, so she said: Those have recited yet not truly recited. I used to stand in prayer with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the night of the full moon, and he would recite Surat al-Baqarah, Al Imran, and al-Nisa'; he would not pass by a verse containing a warning without supplicating to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and seeking refuge, nor pass by a verse containing glad tidings without supplicating to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and yearning towards Him.
