[Machine] This verse, "And do not raise your voice in prayer or be silent therin, but seek between that an intermediate way," was revealed for those people who say, "Do not raise your voice in prayer, or they will turn away from you, and do not be too quiet in it, otherwise, those who like to take advantage of it secretly will not hear it, and they may invite others to what they have heard, and they may benefit from it."
إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} مِنْ أَجْلِ أُولَئِكَ يَقُولُ «وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ فَيَتَفَرَّقُوا عَنْكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا فَلَا يَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَسْمَعَهَا مِمَّنْ يَسْتَرِقُ ذَلِكَ دُونَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى بَعْضِ مَا يَسْمَعُ فَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ»
