1016 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ»، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْسَجَةَ: كُنْتُ نَسِيتُ هَذِهِ: «زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ» حَتَّى ذَكَّرَنِيهِ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ

To recite the Glorious Qur'an attentively, correctly, and with one's heart in it fully - so that it creates the desired positive effect on the reciter himself as well as the listeners - is the requisite demand of Islamic law. However, it should not be in the style of singing. In short, instead of recitation being musical, it should be melodious.
