Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 8367 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding Slow
عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا حَفْصَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَهَا قَالَتْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَعْنِي التَّرْتِيلَ
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about by one of his wives—I think she was Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her)—regarding the recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: "You do not have the strength for that manner of recitation." Then she said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite slowly and distinctly: {اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِینَ۔ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ}.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: {وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِیْلًا} (Surah al-Muzzammil: 4) … Recite the Noble Qur’an clearly and in an excellent manner.
