حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَالْمُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: One who recites the Qur’an in a loud voice is like one who gives alms openly; and one who recites the Qur’an quietly is one who gives alms secretly.

‘উক্ববাহ ইবনু ‘আমির আল-জুহানী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ উচ্চস্বরে কুরআন পাঠকারী প্রকাশ্যে দানকারীর মতো এবং নিঃশব্দে কুরআন পাঠকারী গোপনে দানকারীর মতো।[1] সহীহ।

عقبہ بن عامر جہنی رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: بلند آواز سے قرآن پڑھنے والا ایسے ہے جیسے اعلانیہ طور سے خیرات کرنے والا اور آہستہ قرآن پڑھنے والا ایسے ہے جیسے چپکے سے خیرات کرنے والا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Ayasy] dari [Bahir bin Sa'd] daru [Khalid bin Ma'dan] dari [Katsir bin Murah Al Hadlrami] dari ['Uqbah bin 'Amir Al Juhani] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Orang yang mengeraskan bacaan Al Qur'an bagaikan orang yang menampakkan sedekah, dan orang yang memelankan bacaan Al Qur'an ibarat orang yang bersekah dengan sembunyi-sembunyi

Ukbe b. Âmir el-Cühenî (r.a.)'den, demiştir ki: Resûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurdu: "Kur'ân-ı Kerim'i açıktan okuyan, açıktan sadaka veren gibidir, gizli okuyan da gizli sadaka veren gibidir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that one who recites the Qur’an openly is like one who gives charity openly, and one who recites the Qur’an secretly is like one who gives charity secretly.

What it teaches

  • Reciting the Qur’an secretly is better, just as giving charity secretly is better, for the sincerity involved and the avoidance of show-off and self-admiration, unless if openness is required for some need or benefit, like teaching the Qur’an to others.
