Hadith: Allah does not listen as attentively to anything as He listens to a prophet with a melodious voice

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «ما أذنَ الله لشيء ما أَذِنَ لنبي حسن الصوت يَتَغَنَّى بالقرآن يجهر به».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah does not listen as attentively to anything as He listens to a prophet with a melodious voice chanting the Qur’an audibly."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim]

Explanation

This Hadīth urges us to beautify and raise our voices when reciting the noble Qur’an. We ought to recite it in a sad tone while believing that the Qur'an makes us self-sufficient and in no need for other sources of information. "Chanting the Qur’an" means beautifying one’s voice in reciting, not singing the Qur’an like musical rhythms.
