So I recited Surat al-Nisa' till I reached the verse: How then shall it be when We shall bring from every people a witness and bring you against them as a witness?" (verse 41). He said: Messenger of Allah, (how) should I recite to you whereas it has been sent down to you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: I desire to hear it from someone else. Mas'ud) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon (him) asked me to recite the Qur'an. (1749) Qatada said: I heard Anas saying that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to Ubayy the same thing. He said: Did He mention me by name? He (the Holy Prophet said): Yes.

Ka'b: Aliah has commanded me to recite to you:" Those who disbelieve were not." (al-Qur'an, xcviii. (1748) Anas reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying to Ubayy b.

He said: Did Allah mention me to you by name? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah made a mention of your name to me. Ka'b: Allah has commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you. (1747) Anas reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying to Ubayy b. (1746) This hadith has been reported with the same chain of transmitters by Qatada except with this change:" He who finds it hard (to recite the Qur'an) will have a double reward." (1745) 'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) (as saying): One who is proficient in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright, recording angels and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have a double reward. 1399 hadith found in 'The Book of Prayers (Kitab Al-Salat)' of Sahih Muslim.
