وعن ابن مسعود، رضي الله عنه ، قال: قال لي النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، “اقرأ علي القرآن” قلت: يا رسول الله أقرأ عليك وعليك أنزل ؟! قال:"إنى أحب أن أسمعه من غيري” فقرأت عليه سورة النساء، حتى جئت إلى هذه الآية (فكيف إذا جئنا من كل أمة بشهيد وجئنا بك على هؤلاء شهيداً} ((النساء:41)) قال: "حسبك الآن" فالتفت إليه، فإذا عيناه تذرفان . ((متفق عليه)) .
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: "Recite the Qur'an to me". I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite the Qur'an to you, when it has been revealed to you?" He (ﷺ) replied, "I love to hear it recited by others". So I recited to him a portion from Surat An-Nisa'. When I reached the Ayah:"How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) as a witness against these people?". (4:41)He (ﷺ) said, "Enough for now". When I looked at him I saw his eyes were shedding tears..
