Haaroon bin Sa‘eed bin Haytham Al-Ayli narrates the following:

On one occasion, some of the Fuqahaa of Egypt entered the presence of Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) at the time of sehri. On entering and meeting him, they saw that he had the Qur’aan Majeed before him and was occupied with its recitation.

Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) addressed them saying, “Your engagement in Fiqh has occupied you from reciting the Qur’aan, whereas I dedicate special time to recite the Qur’aan every night. After performing the Esha Salaah, I place the Qur’aan Majeed before me and commence its recitation. I only complete my recitation at the time of sehri.”

(Manaaqib-ush-Shaafi‘ee lilBayhaqi pg. 1/281)
