The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ to recite to him (the Qur'an). He said: Should I recite it to you while it has been sent down or revealed to you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: I love to hear it from someone else. So he ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) recited to him (from the beginning of Surat al Nisa' up to the verse: How shall then it be when We bring from every people a witness and bring you as a witness against them? He (the Holy Prophet) wept (on listening to it). It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ through another chain of transmitters that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also said that he had been a witness to his people as long as (said he): I lived among them or I had been among them.
