[Machine] "To me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Recite the Quran to me.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how can I recite it to you when it was revealed upon you?' He said, 'I desire to hear it from someone other than myself.'

[Quran 4:41] He looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears."

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Recite the Quran to me." Ibn Mas'ood said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I recite the Quran to you when it was revealed upon you?" He said, "Indeed, I love to hear it from someone else." So he recited to him until he reached the verse, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad], against these [people] as a witness?" (Surah An-Nisa, verse 41). The eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ filled with tears, and he said, "Whoever wants to recite the Quran as it was revealed should recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd." This was narrated by 'Amr ibn Marzooq, the companions of Shu'bah, and it was transmitted by Sulayman ibn Harb.
