(1). 3329. Ibn ‘Abbās said: “When the Qur’ān was being revealed to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, he would move his tongue in attempt to memorize it. So Allāh, Blessed is He and Most High, revealed: Move not your tongue concerning it to make haste therewith.”[2] He said: “So he would move his two lips.” And Sufyān (a sub-narrator) would
move his two lips. (Sahih)

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ was instructed in this Verse not to hasten and not to be anxious when the Revelation came to him, because when the Revelation would come, he would hasten to memorise it while it was still being revealed.
