Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ، مَوْلَى فَضَالَةَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ أَذَنًا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْقَيْنَةِ إِلَى قَيْنَتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rashid ibn Sa‘id ibn Rashid al-Ramli narrated to us; al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us; al-Awza‘i narrated to us; Isma‘il ibn Ubayd Allah narrated to us, from Maysarah, the freedman of Fadalah, from Fadalah ibn Ubayd, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Allah listens more intently to a man with a beautiful voice who recites the Qur’an aloud than the owner of a singing woman listens to her.’
