حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ ‏{‏وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا‏}‏ قَالَ أُنْزِلَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَوَارٍ بِمَكَّةَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ سَمِعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَسَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ. وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا‏}‏ لاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِكَ فَلاَ تُسْمِعُهُمْ ‏{‏وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً‏}‏ أَسْمِعْهُمْ وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ حَتَّى يَأْخُذُوا عَنْكَ الْقُرْآنَ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: (regarding the Verse): -- 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur'an and its Revealer and to the one who brought it. So Allah said: -- 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) That is, 'Do not say your prayer so loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear you.' But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not relate the Qur'an loudly, so that they may learn it from you
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি কুরআনের আয়াতঃ ‘‘তুমি সালাতে স্বর উঁচু করবে না এবং খুবই ক্ষীণও করবে না....’’ (সূরাহ ইসরা ১৭/১১০)- এর তাফসীরে তিনি বলেন, এ আয়াতটি তখন নাযিল হয়, যখন রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মক্কায় লুকিয়ে ছিলেন। সুতরাং যখন তিনি তাঁর স্বর উঁচু করতেন তাতে মুশরিকরা শুনে গালমন্দ করত কুরআনকে, কুরআন নাযিলকারীকে এবং যাঁর প্রতি কুরআন অবতীর্ণ হয়েছে তাঁকে। এ প্রেক্ষাপটে আল্লাহ্ বললেনঃ (হে নবী) তুমি সালাতে তোমার স্বর উচ্চ করবে না, যাতে মুশরিকরা শুনতে পায়। আর তা অতি ক্ষীণও করবে না যাতে তোমার সঙ্গীরাও শুনতে না পায়। এই দু’য়ের মধ্যপথ গ্রহণ কর। তুমি স্বর উচ্চ করবে না, তারা শুনে এভাবে পাঠ করবে যেন তারা তোমা হতে কুরআন শিখতে পারে। [৪৭২২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৯৭২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
