Sahih al-Bukhari 5055 (Book 66, Hadith 80) #4839
Reciting the Quran with Emotion

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked Abdullah bin Mas'ud to recite the Quran to him, and when he reached a certain verse, the Prophet's eyes filled with tears.

Narrated 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud): Allah's Messenger said (to me), "Recite the Qur'an to me". I said, "Shall I recite (it) to you while it has been revealed to you?" He said, "I like to hear it from another person". So I recited Surat An-Nisa (The Women) till I reached the Verse: 'How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people'. (4:41) Then he said to me, "Stop!" Thereupon I saw his eyes overflowing with tears.
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ يَحْيَى بَعْضُ الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏ ـ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ وَبَعْضُ الْحَدِيثِ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ النِّسَاءَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ ‏{‏فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا‏}‏‏.‏ قَالَ لِي ‏"‏ كُفَّ ـ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ ـ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَرَأَيْتُ عَيْنَيْهِ تَذْرِفَانِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how much emotion and love the Prophet Muhammad had for reciting and listening to the Quran. He asked his companion Abdullah bin Mas'ud to recite it for him, even though he already knew it by heart. When Abdullah reached a certain verse in Surat An-Nisa, which speaks of Allah bringing witnesses from each nation on Judgment Day, the Prophet's eyes filled with tears out of love for Allah's words. This shows us how important it is to read and listen to the Quran with emotion and reverence. We should not just rush through its verses without understanding or feeling them; rather we should take our time in order to appreciate their beauty and power.
