Hadith 1337
´It was narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’ib said:` “Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas came to us when he had become blind. I greeted him with Salam and he said: ‘Who are you?’ So I told him, and he said: ‘Welcome, O son of my brother. I have heard that you recite Qur’an in a beautiful voice. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “This Qur’an was revealed with sorrow, so when you recite it, then weep. If you cannot weep then pretend to weep, and make your voice melodious in reciting it. Whoever does not make his voice melodious, he is not one of us.”

حَدَّثَنَا
الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَابِطٍ الْجُمَحِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : أَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ كُنْتِ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : كُنْتُ أَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ، لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَ قِرَاءَتِهِ وَصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ، قَالَتْ : فَقَامَ ، وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَمَعَ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي أُمَّتِي مِثْلَ هَذَا ".

Then he turned to me and said: ‘This is Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah. Praise is to Allah Who has created such men among my Ummah.’”
