Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Beautify the Qur'an with your voices." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) These are the words from which a contradictory meaning is sometimes taken. What is meant by the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is: You should beautify the Qur'an with your voices, not that you should beautify your voices with the Qur'an.
