﷽‏


Huthayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I prayed with the Messenger of Allah  ﷺ one night and he started reciting Soorat Al-Baqarah.

I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he continued. I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole Soorah in one Rak‘ah, but he continued.

He then started reciting Soorat An-Nisaa', then started Aal-‘Imraan and recited leisurely. When he recited a verse which referred to the glory of Allah, he would glorify Him. When he recited a verse which contained a supplication, he would supplicate. When he recited a verse that dealt with seeking refuge with Allah, he would seek refuge with Him.” [Muslim]

The Prophet,  ﷺ ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), wept when Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, recited before him the verse from Soorat An-Nisaa' (which means): {So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness?} [Quran 4:41]

Could this have occurred without reflection? The Prophet,  ﷺ ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), would invite people to reflect on and understand the meanings of the Quran.

Allah ﷻ The Almighty Says (what means): {Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.

Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”}
[Quran 3:190-191]

When this verse was revealed the Prophet, ﷺ  ( may  Allah exalt his mention ), said: “Woe to whoever reads it without pondering on it.”
