Narrated Musa bin Abi Aisha:
That he asked Said bin Jubair regarding (the statement of Allah). ‘Move not your tongue concern –
ing (the Quran) to make haste therewith.’ He said, “Ibn ‘Abbas said that the Prophet used to move his
lips when the Divine Inspiration was being revealed to him. So the Prophet was ordered not to move
his tongue, which he used to do, lest some words should escape his memory. ‘It is for Us to collect it’
means, We will collect it in your chest;’ and its recitation’ means, We will make you recite it. ‘But
when We recite it (i.e. when it is revealed to you), follow its recital; it is for Us to explain it and make
it clear,’ (i.e. We will explain it through your tongue).

“Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith.” (75.16)
When Gabriel revealed the Divine Inspiration in Allah’s Apostle , he (Allah’s Apostle) moved his
tongue and lips, and that state used to be very hard for him, and that movement indicated that revel –
ation was taking place. So Allah revealed in Surat Al-Qiyama which begins:
‘I do swear by the Day of Resurrection…’ (75) the Verses:–
‘Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it
(Quran) in your mind, and give you the ability to recite it by heart. (75.16-17) Ibn Abbas added: It is
for Us to collect it (Qur’an) (in your mind), and give you the ability to recite it by heart means,
“When We reveal it, listen. Then it is for Us to explain it,” means, ‘It is for us to explain it through
your tongue.’ So whenever Gabriel came to Allah’s Apostle ‘ he would keep quiet (and listen), and
when the Angel left, the Prophet would recite that revelation as Allah promised him.

Narrated Abu Said:
I heard the Prophet saying, “Allah will bring forth the severest Hour, and then all the Believers,
men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to
prostrate in the world for showing off and for gaining good reputation. Such people will try to pros –
trate (on the Day of Judgment) but their back swill be as stiff as if it is one bone (a single vertebra).”
