حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ ـ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً ـ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْىُ حَرَّكَ بِهِ لِسَانَهُ ـ وَوَصَفَ سُفْيَانُ ـ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ‏}‏

Translation

Al-Humaydi related to us; Sufyan related to us; Musa ibn Abi Aisha related to us—and he was trustworthy—from Said ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: Whenever revelation came down to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would move his tongue with it—Sufyan described the manner—intending to memorize it. Then Allah revealed: ‘Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it.’
