Anas reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “He who goes out in search of knowledge is in Allah’s path till he returns.” Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it.

Sā‘d b. Ubāda reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Every man who recites the' Qur’ān and then forgets it* will meet Allah on the day of resurrection in a maimed condition.” *This has been explained as referring to one who has learned the Qur’ān by heart and later forgets it, or neglects to recite it. Abū Dāwūd and Dārimī trans­mitted it.

Abdallāh b. ‘Amr reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “The one who recites the Qur’ān in less than three nights does not understand it.” Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd and Dārimī transmitted it.

‘Uqba b. ‘Āmir reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “He who recites the Qur’ān loudly is like him who gives sadaqa openly, and he who recites the Qur’ān quietly is like him who gives sadaqa secretly.” Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd and Nasā’i transmitted it, Tirmidhī saying this is a hasan gharīb tradition.

Suhaib reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “He who treats what the Qur’ān prohibits as permissible does not believe in it.” Tirmidhī transmitted it, but said this is a tradition whose isnād is not strong.

Al-Laith b. Sa‘d quoted Ibn Abū Mulaika who quoted Yā'lā b. Mamlak as saying that he asked Umm Salama about the manner in which the Prophet (ﷺ) recited, and she described it in a manner by which it was explained word by word.* *This is explained as meaning that she showed how he pronounced each syllable distinctly, or simply that she gave an illustration of the fine quality of the Prophet’s recitation. Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd and Nasā’i trans­mitted it.

Ibn Juraij quoted Ibn Abū Mulaika who reported Umm Salama as saying, ‘Allah’s messenger used to make pauses in his recitation. He would say, ‘Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the universe’, then stop. He would next say, ‘The Compassionate, the Merciful’, then stop.” Tirmidhī transmitted it, but he said that its isnād is not fully connected, because al-Laith transmitted this tradition from Ibn Abū Mulaika from Yā'lā b. Mamlak from Umm Salama, and al-Laith's tradition is sounder.

Jabir said

Hudhaifa reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, "Recite the Qur’ān with the modulations and tones of the Arabs, but avoid the modulations of those who recite love poetry and the modulations of the people of the two Books. After my death people will come who will trill when they recite the Qur’ān as is done in singing and wailing, but it will go no farther than their throats, and they and those who are charmed by their performance will be led into error.” Baihaqī in Shu'ab al-īmān and Razīn in his book transmitted it.

Al-Barā’ b. ‘Āzib told that he heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, "Beautify the Qur’ān with your voices, for the beautiful voice increases the beauty of the Qur’ān.” Dārimī transmitted it.

Tāwūs told in mursal form that when the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked who had the most beautiful voice for the Qur’ān and whose recitation was most beautiful he replied, "The one of whom you think when you hear him recite that he fears Allah.” Tāwūs added that Talq* was like that. * A companion of the Prophet (ﷺ) who belonged to al-Yamāma. Dārimī transmitted it.
