13. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I said to abu Ja’far (a.s.) ‘When I read the Holy Quran, I raise my voice. Satan comes and says, “You are only showing this off to people and your family.’” The Imam said, ‘O abu Muhammad, read in a middle of the way reading, so your family may hear. Give turns to your voice in reading the Holy Quran; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, loves an attractive voice in which there is fluctuations and oscillations.’”

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Ishaq al-Dabbiy from abu ‘Imran al-Armani from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Hakam from Jabir who has said the following: “Once I said to abu Ja’far (a.s.) ‘There are people when remembering something from the Holy Quran or is mentioned before them they suffer a shock to the extent that even if their hands or legs are cut they do not realize.’ The Imam said, ‘Glory belongs to Allah. That is from Satan. That is not how believing people are described. It is only softening, tender feelings, a few tears and anxiety.’” Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Hassan from abu ‘Imran al-Armani from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Hakam from Jabir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) a similar Hadith.
