Sunan an-Nasai 1012 (Book 11, Hadith 137) #15620
Reciting Quran with Moderation

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ lowered his voice while reciting the Quran so that the idolaters would not insult it, and Allah (SWT) revealed a verse to follow a way between speaking loudly and quietly.

It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said: "The Prophet used to raise his voice when reciting Quran, and when the idolaters heard his voice they would insult the Quran and the one who had brought it. So the Prophet began to lower his voice such that his companions would not hear him. Then Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'And offer your salah (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَهُ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَخْفِضُ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَا كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُ أَصْحَابُهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad used to recite the Quran. When he recited it aloud, people who did not believe in Islam would insult him and his teachings. So Allah revealed a verse telling him to find a balance between speaking loudly and quietly when reciting the Quran. This teaches us that we should always be moderate in our actions; neither too loud nor too quiet but somewhere in between. We should also remember that even if people do not agree with us or our beliefs we should still remain respectful of them and their opinions. We can also learn from this hadith that Allah will always guide us if we are patient and seek His guidance through prayer.
