عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ أَذَنًا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ حَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْقَيْنَةِ إِلَى قَيْنَتِهِ
Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Allah Almighty listens with great attention to the person who recites the Holy Qur'an with a beautiful voice, even more than the owner of a singing girl listens to his singing girl.
