Bayhaqi 4715 — Measured recitation (tartil)

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، أنبأ ابْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثنا شَبَابَةُ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، ثنا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنِّي رَجُلٌ سَرِيعُ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَرُبَّمَا قَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " لَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ سُورَةً وَاحِدَةً أَعْجَبُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي تَفْعَلُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ فَاعِلًا لَا بُدَّ، فَاقْرَأْهُ قِرَاءَةً تُسْمِعُ أُذُنَيْكَ وَيَعِيهِ قَلْبُكَ ".
Abu Jamrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "I am a man who recites very quickly, and sometimes I recite the whole Qur'an once or twice in a single night." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "That I should recite a single surah is dearer to me than doing what you do. If you do such a thing, then recite in a way that your ears can hear and your heart retains it."
