English translation

1471. It was reported from 'Abdul-Jabbār bin Al-Ward, who said: "I heard Ibn Abī Mulaikah saying: 'Ubaidullāh bin Abī Yazīd said: 'Abū Lubābah passed by us, so we followed him back to his home. We saw that he was a person who lived in an austere house, wearing simple clothes. I heard him say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: He who does not Yataghanna the Qur'ān (with his voice) is not of us." He said: "So I said to Ibn Abi Mulaikah: 'O Abū Muḥammad! What if he does not have a good voice?' His teacher replied: 'He should try as much as he can.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

1471 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ: مَرَّ بِنَا أَبُو لُبَابَةَ فَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ رَثُّ الْبَيْتِ، رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ: يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ حَسَنَ الصَّوْتِ؟ قَالَ: «يُحَسِّنُهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ».

    [1] This is explained with different meanings. Some of them say it means to recite in an audible and pleasant voice, others say that it means to busy oneself with recitation of the Qur'an rather than other than that. Others say it means to "chant" in a melodious manner, since the Arabs used to do that when riding on their camels or on other occasions, and rather than poetry or Nashid, they should chant with the Qur'an.
