عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كَانَ يَمُدُّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ مَدًّا وَفِي لَفْظٍ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَدًّا يَمُدُّ بِهَا مَدًّا
It is narrated from Imam Qatadah, may Allah have mercy on him, who says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, how was the recitation of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him? He said: He used to recite by elongating and stretching (the words).
