Advice for the one who does not find any Barakah in his/her time
One of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) said: "Whenever my portion of reciting the Qur'an would increase, the Barakah (blessings) in my time would increase. And I would not cease increasing in reciting until the amount of my recitation reached ten Juz'[1]."
And Ibrahim ibn 'Abdul-Wahid Al-Maqdisi said to Ad-Diyaa' Al-Maqdisi when he (Ad-Diyaa') was about to go on a journey in search of knowledge, advising him: "Increase in the recitation of the Qur'an and don't leave it, for that what you are trying to achieve will be easier in proportion to what you are reciting."
Ad-Diyaa' said: "So then I actually noticed that and tried it out a lot, hence whenever I would recite a great deal, listening to and recording a vast amount of Hadeeth would become very easy for me. And whenever I wouldn't recite it would become very difficult for me."
Footnote by translator:
[1] A Juz' equals a 30th of the Qur'an.

وصية لمن فقد البركة في وقته
قال أحد السلف : كلما زاد حزبي من القرآن، زادت البركة في وقتي ، ولا زلت أزيد حتى بلغ حزبي عشرة أجزاء
وقال إبراهيم بن عبد الواحد المقدسي موصيا الضياء المقدسي لما أراد الرحلة للعلم :" أكثر من قراءة القرآن ولا تتركه؛ فإنه يتيسر لك الذي تطلبه على قدر ما تقرأ ".قال الضياء :فرأيت ذلك وجربته كثيراً ، فكنت إذا قرأت كثيراً تيسر لي من سماع الحديث وكتابته الكثير ، وإذا لم أقرأ لم يتيسر لي
