Does the Hadith which indicates that whoever seals the Qur’an in less than three days does not comprehend it, mean that whoever seals it in three days comprehends it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Understanding the Quran for someone who recites it in three [days] varies according to linguistic, scholarly, and faith qualifications. The intent of the is that whoever recites the Quran in less than three [days] will not comprehend its apparent meanings within this period. The hadith does not imply that reciting it in less than three [days] is impermissible, as what is negated in the hadith is comprehension and understanding, not the reward of recitation. This is supported by the fact that it has been narrated from many of the Salaf that they completed the Quran in less than three [days].
