Sahih Muslim 1064c (Book 12, Hadith 190) #9589
Reciting the Quran Fluently

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbidding 'Umar and Khalid from striking off the neck of a man who was reciting the Quran incorrectly. He instead said that a people would rise from his progeny who would recite it fluently.

This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters and (the narrator) made a mention of elevated forehead, but he made no mention of tucked-up loin cloth and made this addition: " There stood up 'Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him), and said: Should I not strike his neck? Upon this he said: #Then he turned away, and Khalid the Sword of Allah stood up against him, and said: Prophet of Allah. shall I not strike off his neck? He said, No, and then said: A people would rise from his progeny who would recite the Book of Allah glibly and fluently'.Umar said: I think he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find them I would certainly kill them like Thamud".
