Sunan Abu Dawud 1471 — How It Is Recommended To Recite (The Qur’an)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ : مَرَّ بِنَا أَبُو لُبَابَةَ فَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْبَيْتِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ : يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ حَسَنَ الصَّوْتِ ؟ قَالَ : يُحَسِّنُهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ .
Narrated AbuLubabah: Ubaydullah ibn Yazid said: AbuLubabah passed by us and we followed him till he entered his house, and we also entered it. There was a man in a rusty house and in shabby condition. I heard him say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He is not one of us who does not chant the Quran. I (the narrator AbdulJabbar) said to Ibn Abu Mulaykah: Abu Muhammad, what do you think if a person does not have pleasant voice? He said: He should recite with pleasant voice as much as possible.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1471. Commentary: Ibn Abi Mulaykah has interpreted the words of the hadith as referring to melodious recitation. Whereas the apparent state, personal circumstances, and household affairs of Abu Lubabah radi Allahu anhu were such that he had not paid any attention to this aspect at all. Most likely, he had understood the meaning of the words of the hadith to be self-sufficiency. And Allah knows best. [بذل المجهود]
