عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ: «كَانَتْ مَدًّا»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة: 1] يَمُدُّ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَيَمُدُّ بِالرَّحْمَنِ، وَيَمُدُّ بِالرَّحِيمِ.
Kutoka kwa Katada amesema: Aliulizwa Anasi kilikuwa vipi kisomo cha Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake? Akasema: "Kilikuwa ni kuvuta", kisha akasoma: "Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu Mwingi wa rehema Mwenye kurehemu" [Al-Faatiha:1] Alikuwa akivuta neno: Bismillaahi, na anavuta Al-Rahmaani, na anavuta neno: Al-Rahiim.
Qatādah reported: Anas was asked: How was the recitation of the Prophet (ﷺ)? He replied: "It was with Madd (elongation)." Then he recited: {In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful} [Surat al-Fātihah: 1] while extending the pronunciation of {In the Name of Allah,} and extending {the Most Compassionate}, and extending {the Most Merciful}.
