<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is part of the Prophet’s guidance to recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice. Only a fortunate person would be keen to adhere to the Prophetic guidance at all times.<br> 2) If a person seeks guidance from other than the Qur’an, Allah will lead him astray. This is one of the possible meanings of the Arabic verb 'yataghanna' used in the Hadith. It may mean: to recite with a melodious voice, and it may also mean: to regard something as sufficient. In light of this, another possible translation of the Hadith would be: “Whoever does not regard the Qur’an as sufficient for him...”<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> In his Sahih, Imām Al-Bukhāri gave the following title to a chapter: Whoever does not recite the Qur’an with a melodious voice, and the verse: {And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them?} [Surat al-‘Ankabūt: 51] Then, he cited the Hadith reported by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah does not listen to anything as he does to the prophet 'yataghanna' with the Qur’an.” Sufyān said: “This means that he regards it as sufficient.”<br> This interpretation is one of the valuables of the Fiqh of our predecessors in understanding the texts. Their hearts were filled with joy over the revelation sent down by Allah Almighty for the life of this Ummah. {And those to whom We have given the Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you.} [Surat ar-Ra‘d: 36] They believed with certitude that the revelation - the Qur’an and Sunnah - is adequate and sufficient for all people’s affairs and interests. How would we replace this divine revelation with religious innovations and personal inclinations? The erudite scholar Ibn Al-Qayyim was right when he said in his poem the Nūniyyah (what means):<br> They consider personal opinions so carefully<br> But you should look into the texts yourself<br> Beware of what they (the innovators) look at, for the blind are so many<br> Adorn your eyes by looking at the two revelations<br> A remedy for man’s disease of ignorance<br> Revelation is sufficient for those who give it care
