Hadith 207711ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ صَوْتاً بِالْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ السَّقَّاءُونَ يَمُرُّونَ فَيَقِفُونَ بِبَابِهِ يَسْمَعُونَ قِرَاءَتَهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ صَوْتاً.
11. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hajjal from Ali ibn ‘Aqabah from a man from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) was the best among the people for his attractive voice in reading the Holy Quran. The water carrier would stop in front of his door to listen to his reading and abu Ja’far (a.s.) was the best among the people for his attractive voice.”
