Hadith 1339

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الضَّرِيرُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ مُجَمِّعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ صَوْتًا بِالْقُرْآنِ الَّذِي إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُوهُ يَقْرَأُ حَسِبْتُمُوهُ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ " .
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Among the people who recite the Qur’an with the most beautiful voices is the man who, when you hear him, you think that he fears Allah.’”

Benefits and Issues:


The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain of transmission by our esteemed researcher.
However, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared it authentic.
For details, see: (al-Ta'liq al-Raghib: 2/215, and Sifat al-Salat)
Just as a beautiful voice is an adornment for recitation,
in the same way, this quality also enhances the beauty of recitation:
that from the manner of the reciter, it is felt that he is being affected by the Qur'an,
and that the fear of Allah is present in his heart.


This objective can be achieved when the reciter also understands the meanings and implications of the Qur'an.
Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to learning the translation and exegesis (tafsir) of the Noble Qur'an and to acting upon it.
