have changed some of Allah’s Books and distorted it and wrote something with their own hands and
said, ‘This is from Allah, so as to have a minor gain for it. Won’t the knowledge that has come to you
stop you from asking them? No, by Allah, we have never seen a man from them asking you about
that (the Book Al-Qur’an ) which has been revealed to you.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 615:
Narrated Musa bin Abi ‘Aisha:
Sa’id bin Jubair reported from Ibn ‘Abbas (regarding the explanation of the Verse: ‘Do not move
your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith) . He said, “The Prophet used to under –
go great difficulty in receiving the Divine Inspiration and used to move his lips.’ Ibn ‘Abbas said (to
Sa’id), “I move them (my lips) as Allah’s Apostle used to move his lips.” And Said said (to me), “I move
my lips as I saw Ibn ‘Abbas moving his lips,” and then he moved his lips. So Allah revealed:–
‘(O Muhammad!) Do not move your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith. It is
for Us to collect it and give you (O Muhammad) the ability to recite it. (i.e., to collect it in your chest
and then you recite it).’ (75.16-17) But when We have recited it, to you (O Muhammad through
Gabriel) then follow you its recital.’ (75.18) This means, “You should listen to it and keep quiet and
then it is upon Us to make you recite it.”
The narrator added, “So Allah’s Apostle used to listen whenever Gabriel came to him, and when
Gabriel left, the Prophet would recite the Qur’an as Gabriel had recited it to him.”

regarding the explanation of the Verse:– ‘(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say
it in a low tone.’ (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah’s Apostle was hiding himself at Mecca.
At that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the
Qur’an; and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur’an, its Revealer, and the one who
brought it. So Allah said to His Prophet: “Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of
Qur’an) lest the pagans should hear (it) and abuse the Quran” nor say it in a low tone, “lest your
voice should fail to reach your companions, “but follow a way between.” (17.110)
