Hadith Commentary:

"Mazamir" is the plural of "mizmar," which is a musical instrument.
Here, it refers to melodiousness.
Allah granted Prophet Dawud (alayhis salam) the miracle of a beautiful voice; when he would recite the Zabur, an extraordinary atmosphere would be created.
Even the mountains and birds would produce similar sounds, as is explicitly mentioned in the Noble Qur’an.

Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari (radi Allahu anhu) was also very melodious.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would listen to his recitation with great attentiveness.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) likened Abu Musa’s (radi Allahu anhu) melodiousness to the melodiousness of Dawud (alayhis salam).
