Hadith: Whoever does not recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice is not one of us
«ليس منا من لم يَتَغَنَّ بالقرآن»، وفي رواية زيادة: «يجهر به».
[صحيح] - [رواه البخاري]
المزيــد ...
Abu Lubābah Bashīr ibn ‘Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever does not recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice is not one of us."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Abu Dawood]
In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) urged us to recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice. The Arabic word "yataghanna", as mentioned in the Hadīth, has two possible meanings: 1. The one who does not make his voice melodious when reciting the Qur’an is not someone following our path and guidance. 2. The one who does not suffice with the Qur’an, seeking guidance elsewhere, is not one of us. Without a doubt, whoever seeks guidance in anything other than the Qur’an, Allah will lead him astray; we seek refuge with Allah. Hence, the Hadīth shows that a Muslim should recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice and find sufficiency in it from anything else.
