باب مَا جَاءَ فِي دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُمَّتَهُ إِلَى تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَلَى
Chapter: The Prophet (saws) inviting his followers to Tauhid of Allah
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} قَالَ نَزَلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُخْتَفٍ بِمَكَّةَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ، فَإِذَا سَمِعَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم {وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ} أَىْ بِقِرَاءَتِكَ، فَيَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، فَيَسُبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ {وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا} عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلاَ تُسْمِعُهُمْ {وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً}
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: regarding the explanation of the Verse:– ‘(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in
a low tone.’ (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was hiding himself at Mecca. At
that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the Qur’an;
and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur’an, its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So
Allah said to His Prophet: “Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of Qur’an) lest the
pagans should hear (it) and abuse the Qur’an” nor say it in a low tone, “lest your voice should fail to
reach your companions, “but follow a way between.” (17.110)
