[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ heard saying: Allah has not granted permission for anything like the permission granted to a Prophet with a beautiful voice to recite the Quran aloud.  

سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَذِنَ اللهُ لِشَيْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِنَبِيٍّ حَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah did not permit anything that He permitted for a prophet to indulge in reciting the Quran, and his companion said to him, 'It (the recitation) increases him in arrogance."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَذِنَ اللهُ لِشَيْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ صَاحِبٌ لَهُ زَادَ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of the conquest of Mecca reciting Surah Al-Fath. Then he returned and said, "Abdullah ibn al-Mughaffal recited," and he returned and said, "Abu Iyas recited." And he said, "If it were not that I fear people would unite against me, I would have recited it with the same tone with which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ فَرَجَّعَ قَالَ وَقَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُغَفَّلِ فَرَجَّعَ قَالَ وَقَرَأَ أَبُو إِيَاسٍ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ عَلَيَّ النَّاسُ لَقَرَأْتُ بِذَلِكَ اللَّحْنِ الَّذِي قَرَأَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Beautify the Qur'an with your voices. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1468)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah and His angels pray upon the first row." He said, "And I thought that he said, 'Beautify the Qur'an with your voices.' This is a lengthy hadith."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَزَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ طَوِيلٌ قَدْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is not one of us who does not find joy/pleasure in reciting the Quran."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ  

(The narrator Qutaibah said: This tradition has been narrated by Sa'id b. Abu Sa'id in my collection): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who does not chant the Qur'an is not one of us. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1469)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "He who does not recite the Quran melodiously is not one of us." Sufyan said, meaning, he should seek Allah's sufficiency through reciting the Quran.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ  

[Machine] No, this is not its meaning. Its meaning is to read it with malaise and grief.  

لَا لَيْسَ هَذَا مَعْنَاهُ مَعْنَاهُ يَقْرَؤُهُ حَدْرًا وَتَحْزِينًا  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "He who does not sing the Quran, is not one of us." I asked Ibn Abi Mulaykah, "O Abu Muhammad, what if someone does not have a good voice?" He said, "He should recite it to the best of his ability." This hadith has different reports in its chain of narration from Ibn Abi Mulaykah. It is narrated from him from these two ways, and it is also mentioned from him from Ibn Abbas, from Aisha, and from others. The statement of Ibn Abi Mulaykah in this hadith confirms the correctness of the interpretation of Imam Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ حَسَنَ الصَّوْتِ؟ قَالَ يُحَسِّنُهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ عَلَى ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ فَرُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ الْوَجْهَيْنِ وَقِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَقِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَقِيلَ عَنْهُ وَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ وَقَوْلُ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يُؤَكِّدُ صِحَّةَ تَأْوِيلِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah listens more attentively to a man with a beautiful voice who recites Qur’an out loud than the master of a singing slave listens to his slave.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1340)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ أَذَنًا لِلرَّجُلِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْقَيْنَةِ إِلَى قَيْنَتِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Allah is more pleased with the beautiful voice in reciting the Qur'an than He is with the singing of songs of the companion of the tambourine to his tambourine." Abu 'Abdul-Rahman As-Sulami informed us, Ahmad Ibn Ishaq Ibn Ayyub, the jurist, informed us, Muhammad Ibn Ayyub informed us, Muhammad Ibn 'Uqbah Ibn Kathir As-Sudusi narrated to us, he said, Al-Walid Ibn Muslim narrated to us, from Al-Awza'i. Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "Indeed, he ﷺ heard 'Abdullah Ibn Qais, which means Abu Musa, reciting, so he said, 'Indeed, this person has been given from the recitation similar to the Psalms of David's household."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ أَذَنًا إِلَى حَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْقَيْنَةِ إِلَى قَيْنَتِهِ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَإِنَّهُ ﷺ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ يَعْنِي أَبَا مُوسَى يَقْرَأُ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari while he was reciting beside the mosque, 'Indeed, this man has been given a melodious voice from the melodies of the family of David.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ فِي جَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ هَذَا مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "If you could see me while I was listening to your recitation last night, you would have seen that I was given a flute from the flutes of the family of David." And he said, "If I had known, I would have ordered it to be stopped for you."  

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ قِرَاءَتَكَ الْبَارِحَةَ لَقَدْ أُوتِيتَ مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ فَقَالَ لَوْ عَلِمْتُ لَحَبَّرْتُهُ لَكَ تَحْبِيرًا  

[Machine] When Umar would sit with Abu Musa, he would say to him, "Remind me, O Abu Musa, and then he would recite."  

كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِذَا جَلَسَ عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ لَهُ ذَكِّرْ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى فَيَقْرَأُ  

[Machine] In His saying "He increases in creation what He wills" [Surah Fatir 35:1], Husn Al-Sawt commented.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاءُ} [فاطر 1] قَالَ حُسْنُ الصَّوْتِ
