Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) narrated: I submitted, “O Messenger of Allah (SAW) in how much time may I recite the Qur’an?” He said, “Complete it in a month.” I said, “I can do better than that.” He said, “Complete it in twenty days.” I said, “I can do better than that.” He said, “Complete it in fifteen days.” I said, “I can do better than that.” He said, “Complete it in ten days.”I said, “I can do better than that.” He said,”Complete it in five days.”I said, “I can do better than that.” But, he did not allow me further concession.
