أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْجَاهِرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَالْمُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ " .
Muhammad ibn Salamah reported: Ibn Wahb narrated to us, from Muawiyah ibn Salih, from Buhayr ibn Sad, from Khalid ibn Madan, from Kathir ibn Murrah, from Uqbah ibn Amir, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One who recites the Quran aloud is like one who gives charity openly, and one who recites the Quran quietly is like one who gives charity discreetly.
Translation notes
The report pairs public recitation with public charity and private recitation with private charity.
