1020. Abû Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ heard the recitation of Abû Mûsâ and said: "He has been given a Mizmâr among the Mazâmîr[1] of the family of Dâwûd, peace be upon him." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

1019 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ قِرَاءَةَ أَبِي مُوسَى، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ»

Commentary

Prophet Dâwûd ﷺ has become proverbial concerning his melodious voice and sweet recitation. In the Glorious Qur'ân, there is mention of the mountains and the birds joining him in his recitation (his extolling of Allâh's limitless Glory). Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, therefore, compared the melodious voice of Abû Mûsâ ﷺ with that of Prophet Dâwûdm ﷺ, (likening the sweetness of his voice to the sound of reed instruments, as though he had reed instruments in his throat).
