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.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 424:
Narrated Zaid bin Arqam:
I was with my uncle and I heard ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, saying, “Don’t spend on those who
are with Allah’s Apostle that they may disperse and go away from him.” He also said, “If we return to
Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel the meaner.” So I informed my uncle of that and then
my uncle informed Allah’s Apostle thereof. Allah’s Apostle sent for ‘Abdullah bin Ubai and his com –
panions. They swore that they did not say anything of that sort Allah’s Apostle deemed their state –
ment true and rejected mine. Thereof I became as distressed as I have never been before, and stayed
at home. Then Allah revealed (Surat Al-Munafiqin):
‘When the hypocrites come to you…..(63.1) They are the ones who say: Spend nothing on those
who are with Allah’s Apostle ..(63.7) Verily the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner..’
(63.7-8)
Allah’s Apostle sent for me and recited that Sura for me and said, “Allah has confirmed your state –
ment.” ‘That is because they believed, then disbelieved, so a seal was set on their hearts, therefore they
understand not.’ (63.3)

Narrated Haritha bin Wahb Al-Khuzai:
I heard the Prophet saying. “May I tell you of the people of Paradise? Every weak and poor obscure
person whom the people look down upon but his oath is fulfilled by Allah when he takes an oath to
do something. And may I inform you of the people of the Hell-Fire? They are all those violent, arrog –
ant and stubborn people.”
