Musnad Ahmad 865 (Book 5, Hadith 294) #34520
Reciting the Quran Properly

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught Abu Bakr (??? ???? ???), 'Umar (??? ???? ???) and 'Ammar (??? ???? ???) the proper way to recite the Quran.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) used to recite in a low voice when he recited, and 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) recited in a loud voice. When 'Ammar (رضي الله عنه) recited, he would recite some from one soorah and some from another. That was mentioned to the Prophet and he said to Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه); 'Why do you recite in a low voice?' He said: Because the One with Whom I am conversing can hear. He said to ʼUmar (رضي الله عنه): "why do you recite out loud?" He said: To scare the Shaitan and awaken those who are asleep. He said to 'Ammar (رضي الله عنه): "Why do you recite some from one soorah and some from another?' He said: Do you hear me mixing with it something that is not part of it? He said: 'No'. Then he said: 'All of it is good".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُخَافِتُ بِصَوْتِهِ إِذَا قَرَأَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَجْهَرُ بِقِرَاءَتِهِ وَكَانَ عَمَّارٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا قَرَأَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ وَهَذِهِ فَذُكِرَ ذَاكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِمَ تُخَافِتُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأُسْمِعُ مَنْ أُنَاجِي وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِمَ تَجْهَرُ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ قَالَ أُفْزِعُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَأُوقِظُ الْوَسْنَانَ وَقَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ وَلِمَ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ وَهَذِهِ قَالَ أَتَسْمَعُنِي أَخْلِطُ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَكُلُّهُ طَيِّبٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught his companions Abu Bakr, Umar and Ammar how to properly recite the Qur'an. He asked Abu Bakr why he recited in a low voice and he replied that it was because he was conversing with Allah who could hear him. He asked Umar why he recited out loud and Umar said it was to scare away Shaitan and awaken those who were asleep. Lastly, when asked about Ammar's method of reciting some from one soorah then some from another, the Prophet ﷺ said that all of it is good. This hadith teaches us that there are different ways of reciting the Qur'an but all are acceptable as long as we do not mix anything with it which is not part of it. It also teaches us that we should be mindful when we recite as Allah can hear us even if no one else can.
