the Statement of Allāh تعالى :“And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it. Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything).” (V.67:13,14)

7525. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما regarding the explanation of the Verse : “...And offer your Salāt (prayer) neither aloud, nor in a low voice.” (V.17:110) This Verse was revealed while Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ was hiding himself at Makkah. At that time, when he led his Companions in Salāt (prayer), he used to raise his voice while reciting the Qur’ān; and if Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ) heard him, they would abuse the Qur’ān, its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So Allāh said to His Prophet ﷺ, “...offer your Salāt (prayer) neither aloud,” i.e., your recitation (of the Qur’ān) lest Al-Mushrikūn should hear (it) and abuse the Qur’ān, “...nor in a low voice,” lest your voice should fail to reach your companions, “but follow a way between.” (V.17:110)

7525 - حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء: 110]، قَالَ: «نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخْتَفٍ بِمَكَّةَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالقُرْآنِ، فَإِذَا سَمِعَهُ المُشْرِكُونَ، سَبُّوا القُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ»، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ} [الإسراء: 110]: أَيْ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ فَيَسْمَعَ المُشْرِكُونَ فَيَسُبُّوا القُرْآنَ: {وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء: 110]، عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلاَ تُسْمِعُهُمْ {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} [الإسراء: 110]
