عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ الْقُرْآنَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي قَالَ فَافْتَتَحْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا [سورة النساء: ٤١] قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Recite the Holy Qur’an to me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I recite it to you, while the Qur’an has been revealed to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My desire is that I hear it from others. So I began reciting Surah An-Nisa. When I reached this verse {فَکَیْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ کُلِّ أُمَّۃٍ بِشَہِیدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِکَ عَلَی ہَؤُلَاءِ شَہِیدًا} (What will be the condition when We bring a witness from every nation and, O Prophet, We bring you as a witness over all of them), I looked towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and tears were flowing from his eyes.
