29 NOV (Hadith Of The Day) - The One Who Recites The Qur'an Aloud

Hadith of the Day
'Uqbah ibne-'Amir Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that he heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The one who recites the Qur'an aloud, is like the one who gives sadaqah openly, and the one who recites it quietly, is like the one who gives sadaqah secretly.(Tirmidhi: 2919)
 
Note: It appears from this Hadith that the preference is for reciting the Qur'an quietly. This is the situation when there is a fear of 'Riya (lack of sincerity). If there is no fear of 'Riya' and there is no danger of disturbing others then according to some other traditions it is better to recite in a loud voice as it may become a source of inspiration and encouragement for others. (Sharh Tibi)

27 NOV (Hadith Of The Day) - This Qur'an Has Been Revealed To Create A Deep Grief And Restlessness

Hadith of the Day
Sa'ad ibne-Abi Waqqas Radiyallahu 'anhu said that he heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Indeed, this Qur'an has been revealed to create a deep grief and restlessness. So when you recite it, weep; and if you are unable to weep, then make a weeping face. And recite it with a pleasing voice, as one who does not (try to) recite with a pleasant voice is not from us. (Ibne-Majah: 1337)
 
Note: Some scholars have also given another interpretation to this Hadith; that the one who does not become contented and free from want of what others have, by the blessing of the Qur'an, in fact has not properly benefitted from it and hence is not from us.

26 NOV (Hadith Of The Day) - You will enter the Paradise half-a-day before the rich people

Hadith of the Day
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrated: I was sitting in a group of destitute Muhajirin (Emigrants from Makkah), and some of them had taken cover behind others as they did not have enough clothes on them, and one of them was reciting the Qur'an to us, when Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam entered and stood (close) by us. At this, the one who was reciting the Qur'an became silent. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam greeted (us) and then said: What were you all doing? We said: O Rasulallah, one of our reciters was reciting and we were listening attentively to the Book of Allah Ta'ala. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Praise be to Allah Who has created in my Ummah such a people, with whom I have been ordained to sit. Then Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sat amongst us, to be equidistant from everyone. Then he gestured with his hand, and we sat in a circle with all of us facing him. (Abu Sa'id says) I noticed that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam did not recognize any of them other than me. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: O community of destitute Muhajirin, glad tidings for you of a perfect Nur (light) on the Day of Resurrection. You will enter the Paradise half-a-day before the rich people (Muslims), and that (half-a-day) is (the span of) five hundred years. (Abu Dawud: 3666)

He continued to recite, the Mare once again moved around, but he continued to recite, and the Mare continued to move around. Usaid Radiyallahu 'anhu says: I feared that the Mare might trample my son Yahya. So I stood near the Mare and saw something like a canopy above my head, with what seemed to be lamps in it. Then this (object) started ascending towards sky; until I could not see it any more. He said: I went to Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in the morning and I said: O Rasulallah! Late last night I was reciting (the Qur'an) in my courtyard, when my Mare started to shy and move around. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He replied: I kept on reciting, and the Mare moved around again. So, Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam again said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He submitted: So, I kept on reciting, and the Mare moved around again. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: You should have kept on reciting, Ibne-Hudair! He said: Then I turned towards it, as I was afraid that it might trample my son Yahya, who was near to it, and saw above my head something like a canopy, with what seemed to be lamps in it. Then this (object) ascended towards sky, until I could not see it anymore. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Those were the angels who came to listen to your recitation of Qur'an, and if you would have continued reciting, the people would have seen them in the morning, and they couldnot have stayed hiddenfrom the people.
