892 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad al-Muḥāribī narrated to us; Mālik ibn Mighwal narrated to us; Abū Yaʿfūr narrated to us, from al-Musayyab ibn Ibrāhīm, from ʿAbd Allah ibn Masʿūd, who said:
“It befits the bearer of the Qur’an to be known by his night when people are asleep, and by his day when people are eating; by his grief when people rejoice, by his tears when people laugh, by his silence when people blunder, and by his humility when people swagger. The bearer of the Qur’an should be tearful, sorrowful, forbearing, and dignified; it is not fitting for the bearer of the Qur’an to be coarse, heedless, clamorous, laughing, or hard-hearted.”
٨٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْفُورَ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: يَنْبَغِي لِحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ يُعْرَفَ بِلَيْلِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ نَائِمُونَ، وَبِنَهَارِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ مُفْطِرُونَ، وبِحُزْنِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ يَفْرَحُونَ، وَبِبُكَائِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ يَضْحَكُونَ، وبِصَمْتِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ يُخْطِئُونَ، وَبِخُشُوعِهِ إِذَا النَّاسُ يَخْتَالُونَ، وَيَنْبَغِي لِحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَاكِيًا مَحْزُونًا حَلِيمًا سَكِينًا، وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَافِيًا وَلَا غَافِلًا وَلَا صَخَّابًا وَلَا ضَاحِكًا وَلَا حَدِيدًا "
