حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ کَيْفَ کَانَتْ قِرَائَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَکَانَ يُسِرُّ بِالْقِرَائَةِ أَمْ يَجْهَرُ فَقَالَتْ کُلُّ ذَلِکَ قَدْ کَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا أَسَرَّ بِالْقِرَائَةِ وَرُبَّمَا جَهَرَ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 449
Abdullah bin Abi Qais narrated: I asked Aishah how the recitation of the Prophet (S) was at night. [Would he recite silently o audibly?] So she said: 'He would do both of those. Sometimes he was silent with his recitation and sometimes it was audible.' So I said: 'All praise is due to Allah, the One who made the matter broad.'
