Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 2111 — Beautifying the voice when reciting

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: Allah does not listen to anything as attentively as He listens to a prophet with a beautiful voice who recites the Qur'an aloud in a melodious tone.
