1341. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered the mosque and heard a man reciting Qur'ān. He asked, 'Who is this?' It was said: '(He is) 'Abdullāh bin Qais.' He said: 'He has been given (sweet melodious voice) from the Mazāmīr of the family of Dāwud.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

1341 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَسَمِعَ قِرَاءَةَ رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقِيلَ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ»

Commentary

a. 'Abdullâh bin Qais ﷺ popularly known by the nickname Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari had an extremely melodious voice. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has given much praise to his recitation. b. A beautiful voice is a boon from Allâh. It is a commendable act to use it for noble purposes. c. The Arabic word Mazâmîr (sing. Mizmâr), lexically, 'musical instruments', has been used in Hadith in its figurative sense of 'melodious voice'.
