23. Book of Virtues of the Quran
٢٣۔ كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is not one of us who does not find contentment in the Quran." Ibn Uyaynah said, "He means that he is self-sufficient." Abu Muhammad said, "People say, 'Ubaidullah ibn Abi Nahik'."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قال ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ يَسْتَغْنِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي نَهِيكٍ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Who among the people has the best voice for reciting the Quran and the best recitation?" He replied, "The one whose recitation when you hear it, you feel that he fears Allah." Tawus said, "And he had a clear voice as well."
سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُ صَوْتًا لِلْقُرْآنِ وَأَحْسَنُ قِرَاءَةً؟ قَالَ «مَنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتَهُ يَقْرَأُ أُرِيتَ أَنَّهُ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ» قَالَ طَاوُسٌ «وَكَانَ طَلْقٌ كَذَلِكَ»
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah does not listen to a prophet as He listens to a prophet who recites the Qur'an in a pleasant tone." The companion of the sub-narrator (Abu Salama) said, "It means, reciting it aloud." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5023)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمْ يَأْذَنِ اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ صَاحِبٌ لَهُ أَرَادَ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ
God has not listened to anything as He listens to a Prophet reciting the Qur'an in a sweet voice. (Using translation from Muslim 792a)
«مَا أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ كَمَا أَذِنَ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ»
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to say to Abu Musa, who had a beautiful voice reciting the Quran, "Indeed, this has been given to you from the psalms of the family of David."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي مُوسَى وَكَانَ حَسَنَ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ»
[Machine] "Remind us, our Lord, O Moses' father!" So he reads it with him.
«ذَكِّرْنَا رَبَّنَا يَا أَبَا مُوسَى» فَيَقْرَأُ عِنْدَهُ
[Machine] "Do not let anyone of you place one foot over the other, indulging in singing and claiming to recite Surah Al-Baqarah. Indeed, Shaytan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited, just as a yellowish hue disappears from the inner parts of a house when exposed to the Book of Allah."
«لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَضَعُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى يَتَغَنَّى وَيَدَعُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَفِرُّ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّ أَصْفَرَ الْبُيُوتِ الْجَوْفُ يَصْفَرُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ»
[Machine] Salama al-Baydhaq arrived in the city, and he stood to pray with them. It was said to Salim, "If you had come and heard his recitation." When he reached the door of the mosque, he heard his recitation and returned, saying, "Such a melodious recitation, such a melodious recitation."
قَدِمَ سَلَمَةُ الْبَيْذَقُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَقِيلَ لِسَالِمٍ لَوْ جِئْتَ فَسَمِعْتَ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِبَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ سَمِعَ قِرَاءَتَهُ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ «غِنَاءٌ غِنَاءٌ»
[Machine] Abu Musa used to come to Umar and Umar would say to him, "Remind us of our Lord." So Abu Musa would recite (the Quran) in front of him.
أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى كَانَ يَأْتِي عُمَرَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ عُمَرُ «ذَكِّرْنَا رَبَّنَا» فَيَقْرَأُ عِنْدَهُ
Allah has not heard anything (more pleasing) than listening to the Prophet reciting the Qur'an in a sweet loud voice. (Using translation from Muslim 793b)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لِشَيْءٍ كَأَذَنِهِ لِنَبِيٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu Musa has indeed been given a flute from the flutes of the family of David."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ أَبُو مُوسَى مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ»
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and heard a man reciting Qur’an. He asked: ‘Who is this?’ It was said: ‘(He is) ‘Abdullah bin Qais.’ He said: ‘He has been given (sweet melodious voice) from the Mazamir of the family of Dawud.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1341)
دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعَ قِرَاءَةَ رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قِيلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَالَ «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ»
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Adorn the Quran with your voices."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying: "Beautify the Quran with your voices, for indeed a beautiful voice enhances the beauty of the Quran."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «حَسِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الصَّوْتَ الْحَسَنَ يَزِيدُ الْقُرْآنَ حُسْنًا»
