Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Recite the Qur'an to me. I submitted: Should I recite it to you, while the Qur'an has been revealed to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, I desire to hear it from someone other than myself. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: So I recited Surah An-Nisa before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until I reached this verse: (Then what will be the state (of those people) when We bring from every nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)!) as a witness over them?) I raised my head, or a man nudged my side so I raised my head, and I saw that tears were flowing from both eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from Abdullah is also narrated through this chain of transmission.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Recite (the Qur'an)." So I began reciting Surah An-Nisa until I reached Allah's saying: "Then how will it be (with them) when We bring from every nation a witness, and We bring you (O Muhammad [peace and blessings be upon him] ) as a witness against these people?" He says: At that, tears were flowing from the eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is enough for you."

Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been commanded to recite the Qur'an to you. Ubayy asked: Did your Lord mention my name? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes! So Ubayy said: This is by the grace of Allah and His mercy, so they should rejoice over it. That is better than all that they accumulate.
