Similarly, Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him) would complete one full recitation of the Holy Quran every night. As reported in Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Muhammad bin Sireen (May Allah shower His mercy on him), he says that the wife of Hadhrat ‘Uthman told those people who had come with the intention of martyring Hadhrat ‘Uthman (May Allah be well pleased with him): Whether you martyr him or leave him, his greatness is that he recites Holy Quran completely every night in 1 Raka’at. (Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 28; Al Ist’iyaab, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 320)
