حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ وَمِنْجَابُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ التَّمِيمِيُّ جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَزَادَ هَنَّادٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1868
Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon (him) asked me to recite the Qur'an. He said: Messenger of Allah, (how) should I recite to you whereas it has been sent down to you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: I desire to hear it from someone else. So I recited Surat al-Nisa' till I reached the verse: How then shall it be when We shall bring from every people a witness and bring you against them as a witness? (verse 41). I lifted my head or a person touched me in my side, and so I lifted my head and saw his tears falling (from the Holy Prophet's eyes).
