Mishkat al-Masabih #2087
The Excellent Qualities of the Qur'an
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ أَلْفَ آيَةٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ؟» قَالُوا: وَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ أَلْفَ آيَةٍ فِي كل يَوْم؟ قَالَ: " أَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ: (أَلْهَاكُمُ التكاثر)
؟)
رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي شعب الْإِيمَان
Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “Can one of you not recite a thousand verses daily?” Then when he was asked who could recite a thousand verses daily he replied, “Can one of you not recite ‘Rivalry has distracted you’?”(Qur’ān, 102)
Baihaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-īmān.
