English translation

830. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once came upon us while we were reciting the Qur'an, and there were among us bedouins and non-Arabs. He said, "Recite, for each (one of you) is (reciting) acceptably. And there will come (after you) peoples who will try to straighten it just as the shaft of an arrow is straightened; they will be hasty with it, and not deferring."[1] (Sahīh)

Arabic text

830 - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَفِينَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَالْأَعْجَمِيُّ، فَقَالَ: «اقْرَءُوا فَكُلٌّ حَسَنٌ وَسَيَجِيءُ أَقْوَامٌ يُقِيمُونَهُ كَمَا يُقَامُ الْقِدْحُ يَتَعَجَّلُونَهُ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُونَهُ»
