Sayyiduna Uthman (Radiallahu 'Anhu) reciting the whole Quraan Shareef in Tahajjud Salaah
Q: I have learnt that Sayyiduna Uthman (Radiallahu 'Anhu) used to recite the whole Quraan Shareef in Tahajjud Salaah. If one takes 5 minutes to properly recite a 1/4 para and hence 20 minutes per para then it takes 600 minutes (10 hours) to recite the whole Quraan Shareef. Since the night is not always 10 hours long, does it mean that Sayyiduna Uthman (Radiallahu 'Anhu) recited a para in less than 20 minutes?
