Sahih al-Bukhari 468 (Book 8, Hadith 124)
Not a day passed but the Prophet (ﷺ) visited us, both in the mornings and evenings. My father Abu Bakr
thought of building a mosque in the courtyard of his house and he did so. He used to pray and recite
the Qur’an in it. The pagan women and their children used to stand by him and look at him with
surprise. Abu Bakr was a Softhearted person and could not help weeping while reciting the Qur’an.
The chiefs of the Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e. that their children and women might be
affected by the recitation of Qur’an).
