HADITH OF THE DAY
FASTING & RECITING QURAN
Narrated by Mujahid from Abdullah bin Amr
The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) said (to 'Abdullah), "Fast 3 days a month." 'Abdullah said, (to the Prophet) "I am able to fast more than that." They kept on arguing on this matter till the Prophet said, "Fast on alternate days, & recite the whole Qur'an once a month." 'Abdullah said, "I can recite more (in a month)," & the argument went on till the Prophet said, "Recite the Qur'an once each 3 days." (i.e. you must not recite the whole Qur'an in less than 3 days).
