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)
