ibn Abbas, Allah be pleased with him, would make a person watch over someone finsihing the Qur'an, and when he wanted to finish he would inform ibn Abbas so he could participate in it.

"When Anas ibn Malik, Allah be pleased with him, would complete the Qur'an, he would gather his family and supplicate to Allah."

"al-Hakim ibn Utayba said Mujahid and Abdata sent for me and said, "We sent for you because we want to finish the Qur'an, and supplication when finishing the Qur'an is answered."

"Indeed, mercy descends when completing the Qur'an."

"They would gather when completing the Qur'an, saying that the mercy now descends."

Darimi related that Humayd al-A'raj said: Whoever recited the Qur'an and then supplicated, four thousand angels say 'Amin!' to the supplication"

May Allah accept. Ameen.
