Sahih Al Bukhari (5)

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ} [القيامة: 16] قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَالِجُ مِنَ التَّنْزِيلِ شِدَّةً، وَكَانَ مِمَّا يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ - فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَأَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا لَكُمْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَرِّكُهُمَا، وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: أَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا كَمَا رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَرِّكُهُمَا، فَحَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ - فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ} [القيامة: 17] قَالَ: جَمْعُهُ لَكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَتَقْرَأَهُ: {فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ} [القيامة: 18] قَالَ: فَاسْتَمِعْ لَهُ وَأَنْصِتْ: {ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ} [القيامة: 19] ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ اسْتَمَعَ فَإِذَا انْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ قَرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا قَرَأَهُ

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated (regarding the explanation of the Ayah: ‘Do not move your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith).’ He said: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to undergo great difficulty in receiving the Divine Inspiration and used to move his lips.” Ibn `Abbas said (to Sa`id): “I move them (my lips) as Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to move his lips.” And Sa`id said (to me): “I move my lips as I saw Ibn `Abbas moving his lips,” and then he moved his lips. So, Allah revealed: ‘(O Muhammad!) Do not move your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and give you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) the ability to recite it. (i.e., to collect it in your chest and then you recite it).’ But when We have recited it, (to you O Muhammad through Gabriel) then follow you its recital.’ This means: “You should listen to it and keep quiet and then it is upon Us to make you recite it.” The narrator added: “So, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to listen whenever Gabriel came to him, and when Gabriel left, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would recite the Qur’an as Gabriel had recited it to him.”
