I heard Ibn Abu Mulayka say that Ubaydullah bin Abu Yazid reported, "Abu Lubabah passed by us, and we followed him until he entered his house, so we went in with him. He turned out to be a man whose house was shabby and whose appearance was shabby. I heard him say, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "He is not one of us who does not chant the Quran melodiously."'"He said, so I asked Ibn Abu Mulayka, "Abu Muhammad, what about someone who does not have a beautiful voice?"He replied, "He should make it sound as beautiful as he can."
