The Merit of Recitation of the Noble Qur'an in a Pleasant Voice
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ له :" لقد أتيت مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ " ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)) . وَفِي روايه لِمُسْلِمٍ : أن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ له : " لَوْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا أَسْتَمِعُ لِقِرَاءَتِكَ الْبَارِحَةَ".
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him, "You have been given a Mizmar (sweet melodious voice) out of the Mazamir of Prophet (ﷺ) Dawud (David)." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. And in a version narrated by Muslim "If you would have seen me, as I was listening to your recitation last night."
