Arabic text

1014 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا: كَيْفَ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَمُدُّ صَوْتَهُ مَدًّا»

Commentary

It does not mean he lengthened it out of the place, or without reason. Instead, he would lengthen wherever Madd would occur (Alif, Wâw, Yâ). Madd is so called because it is recited by lengthening it.
