English translation

1012. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said concerning the saying of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime: And offer your Salâh (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice[2] – "It was revealed when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was still (preaching) in secret in Makkah. When he led his Companions in prayer he would raise his voice" – (One of the narrators) Ibn Manî' said: "He would recite the Qur'ân out loud" – "And when the idolators heard his voice they would insult the Qur'ân, and the One Who revealed it, and the one who brought it. So Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, said to His Prophet ﷺ: And offer your Salâh (prayer) neither aloud that is, such that the idolators can hear your recitation and insult the Qur'ân; nor in a low voice, so that your Companions cannot hear; but follow a way between."[3] (Sahîh)

1011 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي وَحْشِيَّةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: " {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء: 110] قَالَ: نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخْتَفٍ بِمَكَّةَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ " وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَنِيعٍ: يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَهُ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ} [الإسراء: 110]: أَيْ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ فَيَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ {وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} [الإسراء: 110]: عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلَا يَسْمَعُوا {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا} [الإسراء: 110]
