I'm reciting a hadith from the book Al
-Shama' Al-Muhammadi Al-Imam At-Tirmidhi, Rahimahullah
and I take a few hadith from a
chapter or a few chapters every night and
inshallah we'll kind of complete reading different hadith
from the different chapters over the next maybe
two weeks or so and tonight the chapter
is Baab Ma Ja'a Fi Qira'ati
Rasoolillah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam the recitation of the
Prophet Alaihi Wasallam of the Quran specifically so
a hadith that kind of give us some
idea of how he recited and this is
a very beautiful chapter and I'm going to
share with you three hadith that are short
and nice and inshallah you'll find them enjoyable
...
so Umm Salama in this hadith narrated also
in connection with Umm Abu Dawood it's a
reasonable chain of narration, she was asked how
was the Qira'ah of the Prophet Alaihi
Wasallam and her response was ...
meaning you heard every single letter it wasn't
the words that you heard, you heard the
letters when he recited Alaihi Wasallam and this
is how, this hadith is used to define
tajweed by the way like when you sit,
when I sit and I talk and we
do go, someone's going through an ijazah and
they're reciting to me I tell them that
what you're reading to me are not the
words, it's not the verses you are reciting
to me the letters, you are reciting each
letter, I need to hear each letter the
way it's supposed to be said, in the
right movement of the mouth with the exact
right enunciation, your tongue has to be in
the right place because I'm listening to letters
with you, I'm not listening to words or
verses, or surahs, I'm listening to letters because
that's how he read Alaihi Wasallam he would
recite in a way where you could hear
everything it was very clear when he recited
salallahu alayhi wasallam ajma'in and I think
that's something that we should continue to try
and teach and learn it's a beautiful description
qala haddathana mahmood ibn ghaylana qala haddathana wakee
'un qala haddathana miss arun an abil ala
alabdi an yahya ibn ja'data an ummi hani
in radiyallahu anha qalat kuntu asma'u qira
'atan nabi salallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallama
bil layli wa ana ala areeshi so ummu
hani radiyallahu anha was one of the sahabiyat
and she lived close to the prophet's house
and she said I would be on my
areesh areesh, if you go back to the
middle east, you know that they would always
in front of every house they have a
vine and because they become very thick they
can basically be a barrier between you and
your neighbors and you can sit, and ladies
used to use the areesh as a place
where they could sit and they wouldn't have
to put their hijab on for example and
they can see the night and the areesh
is basically the vine it's keeping a little
bit of a barrier between them and the
eyes of their neighbors so she would sit
on her areesh and then she would hear
the prophet alayhi wasallam reciting the quran during
the night, during his qiyam alayhi wasallam how
lucky is ummu hani that she got to
sit and just at night, instead of sitting
there quietly with a cup of tea she
got to sit there and listen to the
prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam reciting the quran at
night for as long as he would alayhi
wasallam and she could hear him, he would
recite in a voice that she could sometimes
hear radiyallahu anha the final one, and this
is probably the thing sorry, no this is
it so
this hadith narrated by abdullah ibn mughafal abdullah
ibn mughafal tells us, i saw the prophet
alayhi wasallam and this is a, this khatir
will become too long but this is one
of those moments and you have these moments
in the seerah and in the hadith of
the prophet alayhi wasallam with the sahaba they
remember these moments, and they talk to us
about these moments and they give us this
historical event and abdullah ibn mughafal remembers on
the day of fath, when the prophet alayhi
wasallam entered mecca again but he entered this
time, and he was not afraid and he
was not, they weren't trying to kill him
and they didn't have the ability to do
it anyways and after 20 years of jihad,
he came back to his hometown alayhi wasallam
he entered mecca on the day of fath
he entered mecca on the day of fath
and he recites and he guides you on
a straight path and may allah help you
he said, so he recited and returned raja
means he recited it as he was coming
in his head was down, stuck on the
mane of his horse or his naqa and
he was reciting these verses out loud with
his voice alayhi wasallam doing tarji' meaning he
would recite and then repeat again if you
like listening to the quran in majalis al
-tarteel similar to what shaykh al-minshawi or
shaykh abdul basit they would sit there and
people around them and they would recite and
go back and recite and go back a
couple of times kind of perfecting the rhythm,
making it sound nice so the prophet alayhi
wasallam on his horse entering mecca he's reciting
with his voice alayhi wasallam going back and
forth repeating the verse multiple times giving the
mudood, changing the rhythm every time wa qala
mu'awiyah ibn qurra mu'awiyah who is
the tabi'i who heard this hadith from
abdullah sayyidina abdullah ibn mughafal he heard it
from him yaqulu lawla an yajtami'an nasu
alayhi la akhaztu lakum fee thalika al-sawti
awil lahn he said if it wasn't for
the fact that i fear that if i
start doing this people start coming around and
asking i will recite to you as abdullah
recited it to me as he remembered it
from the mouth of the prophet salallahu alayhi
wasallam ajma'een like i recited the way
abdullah showed me the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam
was doing it but i fear that i
do that i disrupt the halaqat that are
happening in the masjid and people come running
over to see what's going on so i'm
not going to do it but if it
wasn't for that i would show you how
he did it alayhi salallahu alayhi wasallam and
a lot of what you find today when
you go and listen to these great reciters
reading the quran and going back and forth
and taking time they learned this this is
something that was also handed down it was
passed down, these recitations, these methods if you
think about it how many methods are there
to making a dhan how many different rhythms
are there for qiraat quran they're not that
different they're all quite similar they were all
inherited from him salallahu alayhi wasallam ajma'een
one way or the other it came to
us from him alayhi salallahu alayhi wasallam that
this is how he kinda did it with
some variations the human experience will add some
variations here and there but the essence of
it is still the same and he would
enjoy this is what i miss i miss
this i can't give you this i can
give you i can do quite a number
of things for you i can't give you
this i don't have the voice for it
at all if i want to do tanfeer
min deenillah subhanahu wa ta'ala i will
call you all and i'll sit and try
to recite the quran like they would and
then everyone would leave and go to a
church or maybe leave it's not gonna work
you need someone who has the right voice
but we do have them we just don't
encourage this art it's an art it's an
art wallahi it's an art and if you
have not enjoyed it in your life then
there's a piece that's missing for you like
if you have not sat down and listened
to sheikh al-minshawi taking the verses in
surah al-hashr and just play just majestically
repeating them with each rhythm and putting the
emphasis on every specific words as it goes
along then you have not learned to enjoy
the quran yet there's a joy in hearing
how they did this because this is not
something they made up this is something that
was inherited majalis al-quran these date back
to his time alayhi salatu wassalam these date
back to his time now there are certain
things people will disagree did it happen during
the tarbiyah time did not happen i don't
wanna argue with you whether they sat and
did dhikr together or not whatever you want
to believe is fine by me but they
did this they did this they sat and
they recited and they listened and they enjoyed
it and the tabi'een did the same
thing and i miss that piece of my
life i miss it, i don't have it
anymore we had someone in this could have
done it but then he left the city
subhanallah but we have to start encouraging those
who have those voices to learn the quran,
learn the rhythms and learn how to do
it so that we can sit and listen
instead of me running my mouth for an
hour bring someone who just takes these verses
that we recited and just reads them time
and time again takbeer just making them to
the point where you we absorb them you
absorb you don't need someone like me to
explain them to you you'll absorb them on
your own because Allah's words are more powerful
than anything else we need to have that
joy of listening to those words and the
sahaba they felt that with him alayhi salatu
wassalam they felt his joy when he recited
they felt his passion when he read and
they enjoyed listening to him and they did
the same they did the same in their
lives and we've missed that we don't have
that anymore and i really wish we could
find a way to do it i don't
believe in calling people from overseas to come
and do this stuff i don't i don't
see the point of doing that i think
these things are easily built locally easily you
can educate people and you can teach them
but you just have to have the interest
we have to as an ummah have the
interest again in the quran in reciting and
listening because aqarat is not going to be
able to recite if he doesn't have people
who want to listen to him like we
need two we need people someone who can
read it well but i need people that
will sit and listen to him well and
enjoy just listening to that and that's the
both of them is something i think we
should work on i'm trying inshallah maybe we'll
be able to do it i'll recite this
last hadith because i think it's beautiful
