Jami at-Tirmidhi 447 (Book 2, Hadith 300) #26013
Adjusting Recitation of Quran

SUMMARY: The Prophet (S) advised Abu Bakr and Umar to adjust their recitation of the Quran according to the situation.

Abu Qatadah narrated that : The Prophet (S) said to Abu Bakr: "I passed by you while you were reciting and your voice was low". He said: "I let He who, I was consulting hear". He said: "Raise your voice". Then he said to Umar: "I passed by while you were reciting and your voice was loud". So he said: "I repel drowsiness and keep Ash-Shaitan away". So he said: "Lower your voice".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، هُوَ السَّالَحِينِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ ‏"‏ مَرَرْتُ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ وَأَنْتَ تَخْفِضُ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَسْمَعْتُ مَنْ نَاجَيْتُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ارْفَعْ قَلِيلاً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ ‏"‏ مَرَرْتُ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ وَأَنْتَ تَرْفَعُ صَوْتَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي أُوقِظُ الْوَسْنَانَ وَأَطْرُدُ الشَّيْطَانَ قَالَ ‏"‏ اخْفِضْ قَلِيلاً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ هَانِئٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَإِنَّمَا أَسْنَدَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ وَأَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا رَوَوْا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ مُرْسَلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about adjusting one's recitation of the Quran according to the situation. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised Abu Bakr and Umar on how they should recite the Quran in different situations. He told Abu Bakr that he should raise his voice when reciting, as it was too low, so that he can consult with Allah SWT better. On the other hand, he told Umar to lower his voice when reciting as it was too loud, so that he can repel drowsiness and keep away from Satan's influence. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our environment when we are engaging in acts of worship such as reciting or reading Qur'an; if we are alone then we can raise our voices but if there are people around us then we should lower our voices out of respect for them.
