"Indeed, the angels pray upon those who recite the Quran and those who seek knowledge, until they finish the Surah. So, when one of you recites a Surah, let them delay two verses from it until they finish it by the end of the day, so that the angels may pray upon the reader and the one who listens to it from the beginning of the day until its end."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ قَالَ

«إِنَّ قَارِئَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْمُتَعَلِّمَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يَخْتِمُوا السُّورَةَ فَإِذَا أَقْرَأَ أَحَدُكُمُ السُّورَةَ فَلْيُؤَخِّرْ مِنْهَا آيَتَيْنِ حَتَّى يَخْتِمَهَا مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ كَيْ مَا تُصَلِّي الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى الْقَارِئِ وَالْمُقْرِئِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ»
