The verse of Allah the Exalted, "{لا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ}" ("Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it"), was explained as follows: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would handle the revelation (tanzil, i.e., the descent of the Qur'an) with great intensity, and he would move his lips. Ibn Abbas said, "I move them for you as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to move them." Sa'id said, "I move them as I saw Ibn Abbas move them." He moved his lips, and then Allah the Exalted revealed, "{لا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ} * {إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ}" ("Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it; indeed, it is upon Us to collect it and its Qur'an"). He said, "Its collection is in your chest, and you recite it: {فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ}" ("When We have recited it, then follow its Qur'an"). He said, "Listen to it and be silent: {ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ}" ("Then indeed, it is upon Us to explain it"), then {ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ تَقْرَأَهُ}" ("Then indeed, it is upon Us that you recite it"). After that, whenever Jibril (Gabriel) would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), he would listen, and when Jibril departed, the Prophet would recite it as he had recited it.
