حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ وَقَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُرْآنٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَهُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1910
Ibn 'Abbas said: When Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet (PBUH), he would want to memorise it. Allah said: "Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muhammad (PBUH)) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad (PBUH)) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an). And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad ^ through Jibreel] then follows its (the Qur'an's) recital" [al-Qiyamah 75:16-18].
