حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُشَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِکَ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ بِمَکَّةَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ سَبَّهُ الْمُشْرِکُونَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَائَ بِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِکَ فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَائَ بِهِ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِکَ بِأَنْ تُسْمِعَهُمْ حَتَّی يَأْخُذُوا عَنْکَ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3145
Narrated Sa'eed bin Jubair: from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding: 'And offer your Salat neither aloud nor in a low voice (17:110). He said: It was revealed in Makkah. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would raise his voice with the Qur'an, the idolaters would insult him, the One Who revealed it, and the one who came with it. So Allah revealed: And offer your Salat neither aloud so that they would not insult the Qur'an and the One who revealed it, and the one who came with it, nor in a low voice (too low) such that you can let your Companions hear it, and learn it from you.
