[Machine] Some of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH), and the only one I know of is Hafsah, were asked about the recitation of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). She said, "You cannot do it." She recited, "Praise be to Allah, Lord of all worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." [Al-Fatiha 3], meaning recitation with a melodious voice.  

أحمد:٢٦٤٥١حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَهُوَالْجُمَحِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ
