Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Recite (of the Qur'an) for me," I said, "Shall I recite it to you although it had been revealed to you?" He said, "I like to hear (the Qur'an) from others." So I recited Surat-an- Nisa' till I reached: "How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people?" (4.41) Then he said, "Stop!" And behold, his eyes were overflowing with tears."  

لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ قُلْتُ آقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا} قَالَ أَمْسِكْ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Recite (the Qur'an) to me." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ Shall I recite (the Qur'an) to you while it has been revealed to you?" He said, "Yes." So I recited Surat-An-Nisa' (The Women), but when I recited the Verse: 'How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people.' (4.41) He said, "Enough for the present," I looked at him and behold! His eyes were overflowing with tears  

لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا} قَالَ حَسْبُكَ الآنَ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: recite Surat al-Nisa’. I asked: Shall I recite to you what was sent down to you? He replied: I like to here it from someone else. So I recited (it) until I reached this verse “How then shall it be when We bring from every people a witness?”. Then I raised my head and saw tears falling from his eyes.  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ { فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ } الآيَةَ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَهْمِلاَنِ  

from 'Abidah that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Recite for me.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite for you while it is to you whom it was revealed?' He said: 'I love to hear it from other than me.'" So I recited Surat An-Nisa until I reached: "...And We bring you (Muhammad) as a witness against these people? (4:41)" He said: "So I saw the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ overflowing with tears."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ (جِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا ) قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ عَيْنَىِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَهْمِلاَنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Recite Qur'an to me." I said to him. "Shall I recite (it) to you while it has been revealed to you?" He said, "I like to hear it from another person." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5056)  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّنِي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي فَقَرَأْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَابِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41] قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَيْنَيْهِ تَذْرِفَانِ دُمُوعًا  

[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.' So I began reciting Surah An-Nisa to him, and when I 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?' [Quran 4:41] He looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ الْقُرْآنَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي قَالَ فَافْتَتَحْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41] قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked me to read Surah An-Nisa while he was on the pulpit. I continued reading until I 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?" 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 'Ummi 'Abd."  

اسْتَقْرَأَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَرَأْتُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} اغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

"'Abdullah said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to recite for him while he was on the Minbar. So I recited from Surat An-Nisa for him, until I reached: How then (will it be) when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring you (Muhammad) as a witness against these people? (4:41) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was beckoning me (to stop) with his hand, and I looked at him and his eyes were flowing with tears." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3024)   

أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنِ اقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} غَمَزَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ تَدْمَعَانِ

So I recited (it) until I reached this verse “How then shall it be when We bring from every people a witness?”. Then I raised my head and saw tears falling from his eyes. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3668)
