(44) Chapter. The Statement of Allah: “And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it. Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Coueteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything).” (V.67:13,14)
Hadith 7525
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى : وَلا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ وَلا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا سورة الإسراء آية 110 ، قَالَ : نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مختف بمكة ، فكان إذا صلى بأصحابه رفع صوته بالقرآن ، فإذا سمعه المشركون سبوا القرآن ومن أنزله ومن جاء به ، فقال الله لنبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم : وَلا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ سورة الإسراء آية 110 أي بقراءتك فيسمع المشركون فيسبوا القرآن وَلا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا سورة الإسراء آية 110 عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلَا تُسْمِعُهُمْ وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلا سورة الإسراء آية 110 .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: regarding the explanation of the Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle was hiding himself at Mecca. At that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the Qur'an; and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur'an, its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So Allah said to His Prophet: "Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of Qur'an) lest the pagans should hear (it) and abuse the Qur'an" nor say it in a low tone, "lest your voice should fail to reach your companions, "but follow a way between." (17.110)
