وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ حَفْصٍ، (قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ،) عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ الْقُرْآنَ». قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ: «إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي». فَقَرَأْتُ النِّسَاءَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ «فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا» رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي أَوْ غَمَزَنِي رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَرَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَهُ تَسِيلُ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (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 Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) 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 Prophet’s eyes).

‘আলী ইবনু হুজুর (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একবার কাপড় পরে সালাতের জন্যে বের হলেন। এমন সময় কিছু রুটি ও গোশত উপঢৌকন এলো। এরপর তিনি (সেখান থেকে) তিন লুকমা খেলেন। তারপর লোকদেরকে নিয়ে সালাত আদায় করলেন এবং পানি স্পর্শও করলেন না।

محمد بن عمرو بن حلحلہ نے محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء سے ، انہوں نے حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہﷺ نے اپنے کپڑے زیب تن فرمائے ، پھر نماز کے لیے نکلے تو آپ کو روٹی اور گوشت کا تحفہ پیش کیا گیا ، آپ نے تین لقمے تناول فرمائے ، پھر لوگوں کو نماز پڑھائی اور پانی کو نہیں چھوا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Hujr] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ismail bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Amru bin Halhalah] dari [Muhammad bin Amru bin Atha'] dari [Ibnu Abbas] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengumpulkan pakaiannya kemudian pergi menuju shalat, lalu beliau dibawakan hadiah roti dan daging, maka beliau memakannya tiga suap, kemudian shalat mengimami manusia, dan beliau tidak menyentuh air.

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami tentangnya [Abu Kuraib] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Usamah] dari [al-Walid bin Katsir] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Amru bin 'Atha'] dia berkata, "Saya bersama [Ibnu Abbas] ", lalu dia membawakan hadits tersebut dengan makna hadits Ibnu Halhalah, dan di dalamnya disebutkan bahwa Ibnu Abbas menyaksikan hal tersebut dari Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam, seraya dia berkata, "Beliau shalat dan tidak berbicara dengan manusia

Bana Ali b. Hucr rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize İsmail b. Cafer rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Muhamnıed b. Amr b. Halhale, Muhammed b. Amr b.

O esnada kendisine ekmekle etten müteşekkil bir hediye getirmişler. Resul-i Ekrem (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) (ondan) üç lokma yiyerek cemaata namaz kıldırmış, hiçbir suya da el değdirmemiş

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) asked ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) to recite something from the Qur’an to him. Ibn Mas‘ūd said: O Messenger of Allah, how can I recite it to you when it was revealed to you?

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: Indeed, I love to hear it from others. So he recited to him from Surat an-Nisā’ and upon reaching the verse that reads: {How will it be when We bring a witness from every community, and bring you [O Prophet] as a witness against these [people]?} Meaning: What will be your condition—and that of your Ummah—when We bring you as a witness over your people, testifying that you conveyed to them your Lord's message?

At that point, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Stop reading now. Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I turned to him, and his eyes were flowing with tears—out of awe for that scene and mercy for his Ummah.

What it teaches

  • An-Nawawi said: It is recommended to listen attentively to the recitation of the Qur’an, to weep while listening, and to reflect upon it. It is also recommended to ask someone else to recite so that one may listen, as this is more effective for understanding and contemplation than reciting it oneself.
  • Listening to the Qur’an entails reward just as reciting it does.
  • The virtue of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him), as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) loved to hear his recitation of the Qur’an. This indicates Ibn Mas‘ūd's diligence in learning, memorizing, and mastering the Qur’an.
  • The virtue of weeping out of fear of Allah Almighty when hearing His verses—while maintaining calmness, proper silence, and avoiding loud crying.
