[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
