Jami at-Tirmidhi 3146 (Book 47, Hadith 198) #28795
Reciting The Quran In Moderation

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was in Makkah, he would recite the Quran aloud during prayer so that his companions could hear it. However, this caused the idolaters to insult the Quran and its messenger. Therefore, Allah revealed a verse telling him to recite neither too loud nor too low but in a moderate voice.

Narrated Sa'eed bin Jubair: from Ibn 'Abbas regarding Allah's saying: "And offer your Salat neither aloud nor in a low voice but follow a way between". He said: "It was revealed when the Messenger of Allah was hiding himself in Makkah, and when he led his Companions in Salat, he would raise his voice with the Qur'an. So when the idolaters heard it they would insult the Qur'an, the One Who revealed it, and the one who came with it. So Allah, Most High, said to His Prophet: 'And offer your Salat neither aloud' that is: Your recitation, so that the idolaters would not hear it and insult the Qur'an'.Nor in a low voice (too low)' for your Companions, 'but follow a way between'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ ‏:‏ ‏(‏وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً ‏)‏ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ مُخْتَفٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا سَمِعُوهُ شَتَمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ ‏:‏ ‏(‏وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ ‏)‏ أَىْ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ فَيَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ ‏:‏ ‏(‏وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا ‏)‏ عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً ‏)‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains an important lesson about reciting the Quran during prayer. When Prophet Muhammad was in Makkah, he used to recite aloud so that his companions could hear it. However, this caused some of the idolaters to insult and mock both him and Allah's words. Therefore, Allah revealed a verse telling him to recite neither too loud nor too low but in a moderate voice instead. This teaches us an important lesson about respecting others while also being able to practice our faith without fear or shame of being judged by others for our beliefs or practices. It is also important for us as Muslims not only to respect other people's beliefs but also be mindful of how we express ours so as not to cause any harm or offense towards anyone else's faith or values.
