It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Once we were reciting the Holy Qur'an, among us were Arabs, non-Arabs, those of black complexion, and those of white complexion. Suddenly, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: You are upon goodness, you are reciting the Book of Allah, while the Messenger of Allah is among you. Soon a time will come when people will exaggerate in reciting this Book beautifully, just as an arrow is straightened with great attention, but they will hasten to receive its reward (in this world) and will not defer it until the Hereafter.
