Chapter: Raising One’s Voice With The Recitation During The Night Prayer.
Sunan Abu Dawud 1332 — Raising One’s Voice With The Recitation During
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَكَشَفَ السِّتْرَ ، وَقَالَ : " أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلَا يُؤْذِيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ، وَلَا يَرْفَعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : فِي الصَّلَاةِ " .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Quran in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1332. Note: Benefit: One who is praying, as well as one who is not, should raise their voice in recitation of the Qur’an while being mindful of those around them and their environment. There is absolutely no justification for a person to become a cause of discomfort for another in worship. From this, it is also implicitly understood that the use of loudspeakers in mosques without a valid reason is not appropriate. Similarly, causing annoyance to neighbors by the sound of radios and tapes in homes is also not permissible.
