Ibn Abi Mulaika reported: Ya'la ibn Mamlak asked Umm Salama about the Qur’anic recitation of Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace), whereupon she described a Qur’anic recitation that was explained letter by letter.

Qatada said: “I said to Anas ibn Malik: 'How was the Qur’anic recitation of Alla’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace)?’ He said: ‘With the voice drawn out over the long vowels.'”

Umm Salama said: "The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to interrupt his Qur’anic recitation. He would say: “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds , then he would pause, then he would say: “The All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate ,” then he would pause and recite: “Master of the Day of Reckoning .”

'Abdu’llah ibn Abi Qais said: "I asked "A'isha (may Allah be well pleased with her) about the Qur’anic recitation of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace): “Was he used to whispering the recitation, or pronouncing it audibly?” She said: “He used to do both. He would sometimes whisper and sometimes speak audibly.” I therefore said: “Praise be to Allah, who has granted us flexibility in the matter!”

Umm Hani' said: “I used to hear the Qur’anic recitation of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) during the night while I was on my pallet.”

Abdu’llah ibn Mughaffal said: "I saw the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) on his she-camel on the Day of Victory, and he was reciting: “We have surely given you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive you your former and your latter sins .” (Al Qur'an 48:1-2) He recited in a quivering voice.”

Qataadah said: "Allah has not sent a Prophet unless he was endowed with a handsome face and a beautiful voice, and your Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was endowed with a handsome face and a beautiful voice, and he did not chant in a quavering tone.”

Ibn Abbas said (may Allah be well pleased with him and his father):: “The Qur’anic recitation of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was sometimes heard by those in the chamber, while he was in the house.”
