87 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Ishaq ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us; al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us; Ismaʿil ibn Rafiʿ al-Ansari narrated to me; from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn al-Saʾib, who said:
Saʿd ibn Malik came to us after he had lost his sight. I approached, stating my lineage, and introduced myself to him. He said, “Welcome, my nephew! I have been told that you have a pleasant voice for reciting the Quran. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘This Quran was sent down in sorrow; so when you recite it, weep. If you cannot weep, then make yourselves weep.’”
