Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، مِثْلَهُ . قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ إِنْسَانًا، أَحْسَنَ صَوْتًا أَوْ قِرَاءَةً مِنْهُ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah informed us: Sufyan informed us. (A second route:) 'Abdullah ibn 'Amir ibn Zurarah narrated to us: Ibn Abi Za'idah narrated to us. Both routes transmit from Mis'ar, from 'Adi ibn Thabit, from al-Bara', with a similar report. He said: I have never heard anyone with a better voice or recitation than his.
