Sahih al-Bukhari 7540 (Book 97, Hadith 165) #7242
Reciting the Quran with Vibrancy

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reciting Surat-al-Fath in a pleasant and vibrating voice, and Mu'awiya's admiration of it.

Narrated Shu'ba: Mu'awiya bin Qurra reported that 'Abdullah bin Al-Maghaffal Al-Muzani said, "I saw Allah's Messenger on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, riding his she-camel and reciting Surat-al-Fath (48) or part of Surat-al-Fath. He recited it in a vibrating and pleasant voice. Then Mu'awiya recited as 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal had done and said, "Were I not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would surely recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did, imitating the Prophet". I asked Muawiya, "How did he recite in that tone?" He said thrice, "A, A , A".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ، أَوْ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْفَتْحِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَرَجَّعَ فِيهَا ـ قَالَ ـ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَحْكِي قِرَاءَةَ ابْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَوْلاَ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَرَجَّعْتُ كَمَا رَجَّعَ ابْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ يَحْكِي النَّبِيَّ فَقُلْتُ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ تَرْجِيعُهُ قَالَ آ آ آ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ‏.‏

Recite Quran with vibrancy & pleasureful voice

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of reciting the Quran with vibrancy and in a pleasant voice. It was narrated by Shu’ba that Mu’awiya bin Qurra reported that ‘Abdullah bin Al-Maghaffal Al-Muzani said he saw Allah’s Messenger on the day of Conquest of Mecca riding his she camel and reciting Surat al Fath or part of it. He was doing so in a vibrating and pleasant voice. Mu’awiya then tried to imitate him but was afraid people would crowd around him if he did so. When asked how he recited, he said “A, A , A” three times. This hadith teaches us that we should recite the Quran with vibrancy as this is how Prophet Muhammad did it himself. We should also strive to make our voices pleasing when we recite as this will help us connect more deeply with its words and meanings.
