‏ ‏وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏خُفِّفَتْ عَلَى ‏ ‏دَاوُدَ ‏ ‏عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ‏ ‏الْقِرَاءَةُ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِدَابَّتِهِ ‏ ‏فَتُسْرَجُ ‏ ‏وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ ‏ ‏تُسْرَجَ ‏ ‏دَابَّتُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ ‏

English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The recitation was made easy for Dawud عليه السلام. He would order his riding animal to be saddled, and he would finish reciting the Quran before his mount was saddled. He would only eat from the work of his own hands.'
