It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once I was delayed in reaching the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Aisha! What kept you?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah! There was a man in the mosque; I have not seen anyone recite better than him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went there and saw that it was Salim (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Hazrat Abu Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Praise be to Allah who made someone like you in my Ummah."
