The word(s) "read" appears 124 time(s) in 120 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(111) "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong-doers but in straying (from their mark)."

(112) Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

(114) Then spread abroad a Message,

(115) And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

(116) Goblets placed (ready),

(117) And rich carpets (all) spread out.

(118) And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

(119) Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-

(120) From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
