Concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: And offer your salah (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice- It was revealed when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was still (preaching) in secret in Makkah. When he led his companions in prayer, he would raise his voice -(One of the narrators) Ibn Mani' said: He would recite the Quran out loud- And when the idolators heard his voice they would insult the Quran, and the One Who revealed it, and the one who brought it. So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to His Prophet (ﷺ): And offer your salah (prayer) neither aloud that is, such that the idolators can hear your recitation and insult the Quran; nor in a low voice, so that your companions cannot hear; but follow a way between.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Ishaq bin Ibrahim dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami 'Abdurrazzaq dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Ma'mar dari Az Zuhri dari 'Urwah dari 'Aisyah dia berkata; Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihi wasallam mendengar bacaan Abu Musa maka beliau bersabda: la telah diberi suara indah ini dari keluarga Nabi Daud Alaihissalam.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his voice when reciting Quran, and when the idolaters heard his voice they would insult the Quran and the one who had brought it. So the Prophet (ﷺ) began to lower his voice such that his companions would not hear him. Then Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'And offer your salah (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between.'

:Telah mengkhabarkan kepada kami Qutaibah dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Al Laits bin Sa'ad dari 'Abdullah bin 'Ubaidillah bin Abu Mulaikah dari Ya'la bin Mamlak bahwa dia bertanya kepada Ummu Salamah tentang bacaan dan shalat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Ummu Salamah balik bertanya; 'Ada apa dengan Shalat Rasulullah Shalallahu 'Alaihi Wa sallam? lalu dia menyifati bacaan Rasulullah Shalallahu 'Alaihi Wa sallam dengan bacaan yang jelas huruf demi huruf.'
