Riyad as-Salihin: Book 8, Hadith 18
Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “Recite the Qur’an to me.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite it to you when it was revealed to you?” He (ﷺ) said, “I like to hear it from others.” Then I began to recite Surat An-Nisa’. When I reached the Ayah: ‘How will it be when We shall bring a witness from every people and bring you as a witness against them?’ (Having heard it) he said, “Enough! Enough!” When I looked at him, I found his eyes were overflowing with tears..
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال لي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :”اقرأ علي القرآن ”، فقلت : يا رسول الله، أقرأ عليك وعليك أنزل ؟! قال : ”إني أحب أن أسمعه من غيري” فقرأت عليه سورة النساء حتى جئت إلى هذه الآية : {فكيف إذا جئنا من كل أمة بشهيد وجئنا بك على هؤلاء شهيدا} قال: ”حسبك الآن” فالتفت إليه، فإذا عيناه تذرفان .((متفق عليه)) .
