Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani
حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي كَمْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ " فِي أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " فِي شَهْرٍ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " فِي عِشْرِينَ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " فِي عَشْرٍ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " فِي سَبْعٍ " . لَمْ يَنْزِلْ مِنْ سَبْعٍ .

He again said: In twenty days. He then said: In fifteen days. He then said: In ten days. Finally he said: In seven days.
