(52) CHAPTER. The statement of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.): “A person who is perfect in reciting and memorizing the Quran will be with the honourable, pious and just scribes (in heaven).” and, Adorn the Quran by reciting it with your (pleasant) voices.
Narrated Abu Huraira: that he heard the Prophet saying, Allah does not listen to anything as He listens to the recitation of the Qur'an by a Prophet who recites it in attractive audible sweet sounding voice.
Narrated `Aisha: (when the slanderers said what they said about her): I went to my bed knowing at that time that I was innocent and that Allah would reveal my innocence, but by Allah, I never thought that Allah would reveal in my favor a revelation which would be recited, for I considered myself too unimportant to be talked about by Allah in the Divine Revelation that was to be recited. So Allah revealed the ten Verses (of Surat-an-Nur). 'Those who brought a false charge........' (24.11-20)
Narrated Al-Bara': I heard the Prophet reciting Surat at-Tin waz Zaitun (By the Fig and the Olive) in the `Isha' prayer and I have never heard anybody with a better voice or recitation than his.
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was hiding himself in Mecca and used to recite the (Qur'an) in a loud voice. When the pagans heard him they would abuse the Qur'an and the one who brought it, so Allah said to His Prophet: 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110)
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdur-Rahman: that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said to him, I see that you like sheep and the desert, so when you are looking after your sheep or when you are in the desert and want to pronounce the Adhan, raise your voice, for no Jinn, human being or any other things hear the Mu`adh-dhin's voice but will be a witness for him on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Sa`id added, I heard this from Allah's Apostle.
Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet used to recite the Qur'an with his head in my lap while I used to be in my periods (having menses).
