Hadith 8365
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ
Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beautify the Qur’an with your voices.
Hadith 8366
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ ذُكِرَ لَهَا أَنَّ نَاسًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَتْ أُولَئِكَ قَرَءُوا وَلَمْ يَقْرَءُوا كُنْتُ أَقُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ التَّمَامِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَةَ التَّمَامَ فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ وَالنِّسَاءِ فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَخَوُّفٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاسْتَعَاذَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا اسْتِبْشَارٌ إِلَّا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَغِبَ إِلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that mention was made before her of those people who recite the Holy Qur’an once or twice in a single night. She said about them: Their recitation is like not reciting at all. I used to spend the whole night in prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he would recite Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Aal-e-Imran, and Surah An-Nisa, and whenever he recited a verse about fear, he would supplicate to Allah Almighty and seek refuge, and if he passed by a verse of glad tidings, he would supplicate to Allah Almighty and humbly request before Him.
Hadith 8367
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}.
Hadith 8368
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).
Hadith 8369
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ قَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فِي مَسِيرِهِ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ الْفَتْحِ وَهُوَ فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ فَرَجَّعَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيَّ لَحَكَيْتُ لَكُمْ قِرَاءَتَهُ
It is narrated from Muawiyah bin Qurrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) stating that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah Al-Fath during his journey in the year of the conquest of Makkah, and in another narration it is mentioned: Surah Al-Fath was revealed when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey, so he recited it on his mount and, reciting in a loud voice, he turned his voice in his throat. Then Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If I did not fear that people would gather around me, I would have demonstrated for you the recitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 8370
حَدَّثَنَا شَبَّابَةُ وَأَبُو طَالِبِ بْنُ جَابَانَ الْقَارِئُ قَالَا ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ ابْنُ جَابَانَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ آَهْ آَهْ
Shababa and Abu Talib bin Jaban al-Qari, may Allah have mercy on them both, narrate that Shuba narrated to us, he from Muawiyah bin Qurrah, may Allah have mercy on him, he from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal, may Allah be pleased with him, and he from the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, narrates similar to the above hadith. The words in Ibn Jaban’s narration are: "Aa, Aa," meaning he would elongate the letter Alif while reciting.
Hadith 8371
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَلَوْلَا أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيَّ لَحَكَيْتُ لَكُمْ قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ يَعْنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ قُرَّةَ لَوْلَا أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيَّ لَحَكَيْتُ لَكُمْ مَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ كَيْفَ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ وَغُنْدَرٌ قَالَ فَرَجَّعَ فِيهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting on the day of the conquest of Makkah. If I had not feared that people would crowd around me, I would have imitated for you the recitation of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) had recited Surah Al-Fath. Muawiyah bin Qurrah said: If I had not feared that people would gather around me, I would have imitated for you the Surah as described by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him), how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it. Ghundar, the narrator, said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited with a vibrating tone.
