Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31942 — Melodious chanting: those

Ubaydullah bin Abi Bakr said: Ziyad al-Numayri came with some reciters to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). He was told: "Recite." So he raised his voice, and he had a loud voice. Sayyiduna Anas removed the cloth from his face, for there was a black cloth over his face, and then said: "What is this? The Companions did not do like this." And whenever he considered something objectionable, he would remove the cloth from his face.
