حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَوْ يُخَافِتُ بِهِ قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا جَهَرَ وَرُبَّمَا خَافَتَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1354
It was narrated that Ghudaif bin Harith said. "I came to ‘Aishah and asked: 'Did the Messenger of Allah recite Qur'an loudly or softly?' She said. 'Sometimes he would recite loud and sometimes softly.' I said, 'Allah u Akbar! Praise is to Allah who has made this matter one of broad scope.'" (Hasan)
