Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ 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 أَحَدُهُمْ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَةَ التَّمَامَ فَيَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَسُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ وَسُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ ثُمَّ لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَغِبَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخْوِيفٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاسْتَعَاذَ.
English Translation
Ali ibn Ishaq told us: Abdullah informed us: Ibn Lahi'ah informed us, from al-Harith ibn Yazid, from Ziyad ibn Nu'aym al-Hadrami, from Muslim ibn Mikhraq, who said: I said to A'ishah, "O Mother of the Believers, some people recite the Qur'an, one of them finishing it twice or three times in a single night." She said, "Those recited but did not truly recite. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand the whole night, reciting Surat al-Baqarah, Surat Al Imran, and Surat al-Nisa; and he would not pass by a verse containing glad tidings without supplicating Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and yearning for it, nor pass by a verse containing a warning without supplicating Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and seeking refuge from it."
