It is narrated from Abu Firas (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! There was a time when I did not know that anyone could seek the pleasure of anyone other than Allah Almighty through the recitation of the Qur'an, until later I began to think that some people want to please others besides Allah with their recitation. Therefore, in your recitation and deeds, make the pleasure of Allah Almighty your sole objective.
