WITNESS FROM EVERY NATION

1022

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, asked ibn Mas'ud to recite the Koran to him. He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, should I recite the Koran to you, when it is you to whom it has been revealed?’ He replied, ‘I like to hear it recited by another.’ So he recited to him the chapter An Nisa (Women) until he reached the verse: 'How then shall it be when We bring forward from every nation a witness, and bring you (Prophet Muhammad) to witness against those!' (Ch.4:41 Koran) when he said, ‘That is enough for now.’ Ibn Mas'ud looked at him and saw tears overflowing from his eyes.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Mas'ud who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
