Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ibn Ukayma
al-Laythi from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, finished a prayer in which he had
recited aloud and asked, "Did any of you recite with me just now?" One
man said, "Yes, I did, Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I was saying to
myself, 'Why am I distracted from the Qur'an?' " When the people heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say
that, they refrained from reciting with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he recited aloud.
Muwatta Malik Book 3, Hadith 46
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar Rahman
that Abu Said said that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, "A group of people will appear
among you whose prayer, fasting and deeds will make you think little
of your own prayer, fasting and deeds. They will recite the Qur'an,
but it wil not get past their throats, and they will pass through the
deen like an arrow passes through game. You look at the arrowhead, and
you see nothing, and you look at the shaft, and you see nothing, and
you look at the flights, and you see nothing. And you are in doubt
about the notch."
Muwatta Malik Book 15, Hadith 11
