English translation

1337. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Sâ'ib said: "Sa'd bin Abu Waqqâs came to us when he had become blind. I greeted him with Salâm and he said: 'Who are you?' So I told him, and he said: 'Welcome, O son of my brother. I have heard that you recite Qur'an in a beautiful voice. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "This Qur'an was revealed with sorrow, so when you recite it, then weep. If you cannot weep then pretend to weep, and make your voice melodious in reciting it. Whoever does not make his voice melodious, he is not one of us." (Da'if)

Arabic text

1337 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَقَدْ كُفَّ بَصَرُهُ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِابْنِ أَخِي، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ حَسَنُ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ بِحُزْنٍ، فَإِذَا قَرَأْتُمُوهُ فَابْكُوا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَبْكُوا فَتَبَاكَوْا، وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»
