Hadith 20833ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فِي كَمْ أَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ اقْرَأْهُ أَخْمَاساً اقْرَأْهُ أَسْبَاعاً أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدِي مُصْحَفاً مُجَزًّى أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ جُزْءاً.
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn al-Nu’Man from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb from Husayn ibn Khalid who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘In how many days should one complete reading the Holy Quran?’ The Imam said, ‘You may read it in five or seven days. I, however, have a copy of the Holy Quran that is divided into fourteen parts.’”
