936. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said - concerning the saying of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime: Move not your tongue concerning to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you the ability to recite it[1] - "The Prophet ﷺ used to suffer a great deal of hardship when the Revelation came to him, and he used to move his lips. Allâh said:
Move not your tongue concerning to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you the ability to recite it.” He said: “(This means) He will gather it in your heart, then you will recite it,” And when We have recited it to you, then follow its recitation.[1] He said: “So listen to it and remain silent. So when Jibrîl came to him, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ listened, and when he left, he would recite it as he had taught him.” (Sahih)

Commentary
The Prophet's ﷺ repeating them (the Qur'anic Verses) at the very moment of their Revelation was due to the fear that he might forget some of the revealed words unless he repeated them at the very moment of Revelation. But when Allâh took it upon Himself to protect the Qur'an, the Prophet ﷺ abandoned its recitation at the very moment of Revelation.
