Sahih al-Bukhari 4928 (Book 65, Hadith 448) #4708
Moving the Tongue During Revelation

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was ordered not to move his tongue when the Divine Inspiration was being revealed to him, so that he would not forget any words. Allah will collect it in his chest and make him recite it, and explain it through his tongue.

Narrated Musa bin Abi Aisha: That he asked Sa'id bin Jubair regarding (the statement of Allah)'.Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith'. He said, "Ibn 'Abbas said that the Prophet ﷺ used to move his lips when the Divine Inspiration was being revealed to him. So the Prophet ﷺ was ordered not to move his tongue, which he used to do, lest some words should escape his memory'.It is for Us to collect it' means, We will collect it in your chest;' and its recitation' means, We will make you recite it'.But when We recite it (ie when it is revealed to you), follow its recital; it is for Us to explain it and make it clear,' (ie We will explain it through your tongue).
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى ‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ‏}‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ ‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ‏}‏ ـ يَخْشَى أَنْ يَنْفَلِتَ مِنْهُ ـ ‏{‏إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ‏}‏ أَنْ نَجْمَعَهُ فِي صَدْرِكَ، وَقُرْآنَهُ أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ ‏{‏فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ‏}‏ يَقُولُ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ‏{‏فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ * ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ‏}‏ أَنْ نُبَيِّنَهُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's experience with revelation from Allah. When the divine inspiration was being revealed to him, he used to move his lips in order to remember what he heard. However, Allah commanded him not to do this as He would collect all of the words in his chest and make sure that nothing is forgotten or lost. Furthermore, He would explain everything through His tongue so that others can understand what has been said. This hadith teaches us that we should trust in Allah's power and wisdom as He knows best how things should be done for our benefit. We must also have faith that whatever we hear from Him will be explained properly by Him so that everyone can understand its meaning clearly.
