Narrated by ibn Abbas 5 narrators

Musa bin Isma'il al-Munqari al-Tabudhaki Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. 223 AH Wadah bin 'Abdullah al-Yashkari Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn 122 – 176 AH Musa bin Abi Aa'isha Tābiʿī Sa'id bin Jubayr Tābiʿī 46 AH – 95 AH ibn Abbas Companion 3 BH/619 CE – 68 AH/687 CE

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn 'Abbas in the explanation of the statement of Allah, "Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith." (Q 75:16) said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to bear the revelation with great trouble and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Revelation."

Ibn 'Abbas moved his lips, saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to move his."

Said moved his lips, saying: "I am moving my lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas moving his."

Ibn 'Abbas added, "So Allah revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad) the ability to recite it (the Quran)' (75.16-17), which means that Allah will make him (the Prophet) remember the portion of the Qur'an which was revealed at that time by heart and recite it.

The statement of Allah: "And when we have recited it to you (O Muhammad through Jibril), then you follow its (Quran) recital" (Q 75:18) means 'listen to it and be silent.'

"Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear to you" (Q 75:19) means 'Then it is (for Allah) to make you recite it (and its meaning will be clear by itself through your tongue).

Afterwards, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to listen to Jibril whenever he came and after his departure, he used to recite it as Jibril had recited it."

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}‏ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعَالِجُ مِنَ التَّنْزِيلِ شِدَّةً، وَكَانَ مِمَّا يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ ـ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا لَكُمْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَرِّكُهُمَا‏.‏ وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا كَمَا رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَرِّكُهُمَا‏.‏ فَحَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ ـ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ* إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ‏}‏ قَالَ جَمْعُهُ لَهُ فِي صَدْرِكَ، وَتَقْرَأَهُ ‏{‏فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ‏}‏ قَالَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لَهُ وَأَنْصِتْ ‏{‏ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ‏}‏ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ‏.‏ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ اسْتَمَعَ، فَإِذَا انْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ قَرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَمَا قَرَأَهُ‏.‏
