Narrated `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud): Allah's Apostle said (to me), "Recite the Qur'an to me." I said, "Shall I recite (it) to you while it has been revealed to you?" He said, "I like to hear it from another person." So I recited Surat An-Nisa (The Women) till I reached the Verse: 'How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people.' (4.41) Then he said to me, "Stop!" Thereupon I saw his eyes overflowing with tears.

The second chain: Musaddad narrated to us, he said: Yahya Qattan narrated to us, from Sufyan Thawri, from A’mash, from Ibrahim, from Ubaidah Sulaymani, and from Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him). A’mash narrated that I heard a part of this hadith myself from Ibrahim, and a part of this hadith was transmitted to me by Amr bin Murrah, from Ibrahim, from his father, from Abu Dhuha, and from Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Recite the Qur’an to me.”I said:“Should I recite to you when the Qur’an has been revealed to you?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I like to hear it from someone else.”The narrator said: Then I recited Surah An-Nisa, and when I reached the verse «فكيف إذا جئنا من كل أمة بشهيد وجئنا بك على هؤلاء شهيدا‏» , the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Stop.”(The Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] ) said «كف» or «أمسك» —the narrator is unsure. I saw that tears were flowing from the eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
