Imam al-Nawawi in his Tibyan:
I have seen the people of our land, Damascus (may God Most High protect it and preserve it, and all other lands of Islam), concentrating on reciting the Mighty Quran: studying, instructing, reading, and learning - in groups and individually. They spend enormous effort in this - day and night (God increase their desire for it and for all kinds of obedience), desiring thereby the pleasure of God, the Possessor of Majesty and Honour.
(Translated beautifully by Shk Musa Furber.)
