Sahih Muslim Book - 4, Hadith - 1005

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْله { لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ }قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَالِجُ مِنْ التَّنْزِيلِ شِدَّةً كَانَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَرِّكُهُمَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ أَنَا أُحَرِّكُهُمَا كَمَا كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَرِّكُهُمَا فَحَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى { لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ } قَالَ جَمْعَهُ فِي صَدْرِكَ ثُمَّ تَقْرَؤُهُ { فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ } قَالَ فَاسْتَمِعْ وَأَنْصِتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ اسْتَمَعَ فَإِذَا انْطَلَقَ جِبْرِيلُ قَرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا أَقْرَأَهُ

It was narrated from Musa bin Abi 'Aishah, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, that Ibn 'Abbas said, concerning: "Move not your tongue concerning it to make haste there with." "The Prophet (s.a.w) experienced some hardship when the Revelation came to him, and he used to move his lips." Ibn 'Abbas said to me: "I will move my lips for you as the Messenger of Allah (s,a,w) used to move his lips," and he moved his lips. "Sa'eed said: "I will move my lips for you as Ibn 'Abbas moved his lips," and he moved them. - "Then Allah the Most High revealed: "Move not your tongue concerning it" meaning: I will preserve it in your heart, then you will be able to recite it. "And when We have recited it to you, then follow its recitation" meaning: so listen to it attentively, then it is for Us to cause you to recite it. So when Jibril came to him, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) would listen, and when Jibril left, the Prophet (s.a.w) would recite it as it had been recited to him."
