Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 292-299
Chapter 39: It is recommended to recite the Qur’an to people of
virtue who are skilled in its recitation, even if the reciter is better than
the one to whom it is recited.
Anas reported Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ) as saying to Ubayy b. Ka'b:
Allah has commanded me to
recite the Qur'an to you. He said: Did Allah mention me to you by name? He (the
Holy Prophet) said: Allah made a mention of your name to me. (On hearing this)
Ubayy b. Ka'b wept. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 292)
Anas reported Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ) as saying to Ubayy b. Ka`b:
Allah has commanded me to
recite to you:" Those who disbelieve were not..." (al-Qur'an, xcviii.
1). He said: Did He mention me by name? He (the Prophet said): Yes. Upon this
he shed tears (of gratitude). (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 293)
Those who disbelieve from
among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn, were
not going to leave (their disbelief) until there came to them clear evidence. (Surah Al-Bayyinah - 1 - Quran.com)
Qatada said:
I heard Anas saying that
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Ubayy the same thing. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 294)
Chapter 40: The virtue of listening to the Qur’an, asking one who
has memorized it to recite so that one may listen, weeping when reciting, and
pondering the meanings.
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) asked me to recite the Qur'an. He said: Messenger of Allah,
(how) should I recite to you whereas it has been sent down to you? He (the Holy
Prophet) said: I desire to hear it from someone else. So I recited Surat
al-Nisa' till I reached the verse: How then shall it be when We shall bring
from every people a witness and bring you against them as a witness?"
(verse 41). I lifted my head or a person touched me in my side, and so I lifted
my head and saw his tears falling (from the Holy Prophet's eyes). (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 295)
How (will it be) then, when
We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه
وسلم) as a witness against these people? (Surah
An-Nisa - 41 - Quran.com)
This hadith has been narrated
by A'mash with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:
" The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) was on the pulpit when he asked me to recite to him." (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 296)
Ibrahim reported that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud to recite to him (the Qur'an).
He said:
Should I recite it to you
while it has been sent down or revealed to you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: I
love to hear it from someone else. So he ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) recited to him
(from the beginning of Surat al Nisa' up to the verse:" How shall then it be
when We bring from every people a witness and bring you as a witness against
them?" He (the Holy Prophet) wept (on listening to it). It is narrated on
the authority of Ibn Mas'ud through another chain of transmitters that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also said that he had been a witness to his people as
long as (said he): I lived among them or I had been among them. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 297)
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud)
reported:
I was in Homs when some of
the people asked me to recite the Qur'an to them. So I recited Surah Yusuf to
them. One of the persons among the people said: By Allah, this is not how it
has been sent down. I said: Woe upon you! By Allah, I recited it to the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said to me: You have (recited) it well. I was
talking with him (the man who objected to my recitation) that I sensed the
smell of wine from him. So I said to him. Do you drink wine and belie the Book
(of Allah)? You would not depart till I would whip you. So I lashed him
according to the prescribed punishment (for the offence of drinking wine). (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 298)
This hadith has been
narrated by A'mash with the same chain of transmitters but with an exception
that it is not mentioned in it:
"He said to me: You
recited (the Qur'an) well." (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 299)
