حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ». قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ «فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا» قَالَ: «حَسْبُكَ الآنَ». فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to me, “Recite (the Qur’an) to me.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) Shall I recite (the Qur’an) to you while it has been revealed to you?”

He said, “Yes.” So I recited Surat-An-Nisa (The Women), but when I recited 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.’

(An-Nisa 4:41) He said, “Enough for the present,” I looked at him and behold! His eyes were overflowing with tears.

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদিন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বললেন, তুমি কুরআন পাঠ কর। আমি আরয করলাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমি আপনার কাছে কুরআন পাঠ করব? অথচ তা তো আপনার ওপরই অবতীর্ণ হয়েছে।

তিনি বললেন, হ্যাঁ। এরপর আমি ‘সূরাহ নিসা’ পাঠ করলাম। যখন আমি এই আয়াত পর্যন্ত আসলাম ‘চিন্তা করো আমি যখন প্রত্যেক উম্মাতের মধ্য থেকে একজন করে সাক্ষী উপস্থিত করব এবং সকলের ওপরে তোমাকে সাক্ষী হিসাবে হাযির করব তখন তারা কী করবে।’

নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, আপাততঃ যথেষ্ট হয়েছে। আমি তাঁর চেহারার দিকে তাকালাম, দেখলাম, তাঁর চোখ থেকে অশ্রু ঝরছে। [৪৫৮২]

ہم سے محمد بن یوسف نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے سفیان بن عیینہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے اعمش نے، ان سے ابراہیم نے، ان سے عبیدہ نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ مجھ سے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ مجھے قرآن پڑھ کر سناؤ۔

میں نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ! میں آپ کو پڑھ کر سناؤں، آپ پر تو قرآن مجید نازل ہوتا ہے۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ہاں سناؤ۔ چنانچہ میں نے سورۃ نساء پڑھی جب میں آیت «فكيف إذا جئنا من كل أمة بشهيد وجئنا بك على هؤلاء شهيدا‏» پر پہنچا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اب بس کرو۔

میں نے آپ کی طرف دیکھا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی آنکھوں سے آنسو جاری تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Yusuf] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Ibrahim] dari [Abidah] dari [Abdullah bin Mas'ud] ia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah bersabda kepadaku: "Bacakanlah Al Qur`an untukku."

Maka aku pun berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, apakah aku akan membacanya untuk Anda, padahal kepada Andalah alquran diturunkan?" beliau menjawab: "Ya." Lalu aku pun membacakan surat An Nisa, hingga aku sampai pada ayat: "Dan bagaimanakah sekiranya Kami mendatangkan manusia dari seluruh umat dengan seorang saksi, lalu kami mendatangkanmu sebagai saksi atas mereka."

Maka beliau pun bersabda padaku: "Cukuplah." Lalu aku menoleh ke arah beliau dan ternyata kedua matanya meneteskan air

Abdullah İbn Mes'ud şöyle demiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Bana Kur'an oku!" dedi. Ben hayretle, "Kur'an sana inmişken ben mi sana Kur'an okuyacağım!" dedim.

O da, "Evet" dedi. Nihayet en-Ni'sa suresini okumaya başladım. Derken "Her bir ümmetten bir şahit getirdiğimiz ve seni de onlara şahit olarak gösterdiğimiz zaman halleri nice olacak!"(Ntsa 41) ayetine geldim. Hesulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Şimdilik yeter" buyurdu. Ona döndüğüm zaman birden göz yaşlarının boşandığını fark ettim

Sahih al-Bukhari 5050, Book 66, Virtues of the Qur'an, Hadith 74. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) asked ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) to recite something from the Qur’an to him. Ibn Mas‘ūd said: O Messenger of Allah, how can I recite it to you when it was revealed to you?

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: Indeed, I love to hear it from others. So he recited to him from Surat an-Nisā’ and upon reaching the verse that reads: {How will it be when We bring a witness from every community, and bring you [O Prophet] as a witness against these [people]?} Meaning: What will be your condition—and that of your Ummah—when We bring you as a witness over your people, testifying that you conveyed to them your Lord's message?

At that point, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Stop reading now. Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I turned to him, and his eyes were flowing with tears—out of awe for that scene and mercy for his Ummah.

What it teaches

  • An-Nawawi said: It is recommended to listen attentively to the recitation of the Qur’an, to weep while listening, and to reflect upon it. It is also recommended to ask someone else to recite so that one may listen, as this is more effective for understanding and contemplation than reciting it oneself.
  • Listening to the Qur’an entails reward just as reciting it does.
  • The virtue of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him), as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) loved to hear his recitation of the Qur’an. This indicates Ibn Mas‘ūd's diligence in learning, memorizing, and mastering the Qur’an.
  • The virtue of weeping out of fear of Allah Almighty when hearing His verses—while maintaining calmness, proper silence, and avoiding loud crying.
