حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ‏}‏ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ بِالْوَحْىِ، وَكَانَ مِمَّا يُحَرِّكُ بِهِ لِسَانَهُ وَشَفَتَيْهِ فَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ يُعْرَفُ مِنْهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي ‏{‏لاَ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ‏}‏ ‏{‏لاَ تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ * إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ‏}‏ قَالَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَجْمَعَهُ فِي صَدْرِكَ، وَقُرْآنَهُ ‏{‏فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ‏}‏ فَإِذَا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فَاسْتَمِعْ ‏{‏ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ‏}‏ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نُبَيِّنَهُ بِلِسَانِكَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَطْرَقَ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ قَرَأَهُ كَمَا وَعَدَهُ اللَّهُ‏.‏ ‏{‏أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى‏}‏ تَوَعُّدٌ‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:(as regards) Allah's Statement: "Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith." (75.16) When Gabriel revealed the Divine Inspiration in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , he (Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) moved his tongue and lips, and that state used to be very hard for him, and that movement indicated that revelation was taking place. So Allah revealed in Surat Al-Qiyama which begins: 'I do swear by the Day of Resurrection...' (75) the Verses:-- 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it (Qur'an) in your mind, and give you the ability to recite it by heart. (75.16-17) Ibn `Abbas added: It is for Us to collect it (Qur'an) (in your mind), and give you the ability to recite it by heart means, "When We reveal it, listen. Then it is for Us to explain it," means, 'It is for us to explain it through your tongue.' So whenever Gabriel came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ' he would keep quiet (and listen), and when the Angel left, the Prophet (ﷺ) would recite that revelation as Allah promised him

Ibn Abbas Allah ke is farmaan ke baare mein bataate hain: 'Apni zabaan (Quran ko yaad karne ki) jaldi mein mat hilaao.' (75:16) Jab Jibrael Allah ke Rasool (SAW) par wahi naazil karte, to wo apni zabaan aur honth hilaate, aur ye unke liye bahut mushkil haalat hoti thi, aur ye harkat is baat ki nishaani thi ke wahi naazil ho rahi hai. To Allah ne Surah Al-Qiyama, jo 'Main Qayamat ke din ki qasam khaata hoon...' se shuru hoti hai, mein ye Aayaten naazil kin: 'Apni zabaan (Quran ko yaad karne ki) jaldi mein mat hilaao. Ise (Quran ko) tumhaare zehen mein jama karna aur tumhein use zabaani padhne ki qaabiliyat dena Hamaare zimme hai.' (75:16-17) Ibn Abbas ne aage kaha, '"Ise tumhaare zehen mein jama karna aur tumhein padhne ki qaabiliyat dena Hamaare zimme hai" ka matlab hai, "Jab Hum ise naazil karein, to suno." Phir "iski tafseer karna Hamaare zimme hai" ka matlab hai, "Iski tafseer karna Hamaare zimme hai, tumhaari zabaan ke zariye."' To jab bhi Jibrael Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aate, wo khaamosh rehte (aur sunte), aur jab Farishta chala jaata, to Nabi (SAW) wo wahi padh dete jaisa Allah ne unse waada kiya tha.
