حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ بِالطُّورِ . قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ {أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ } كَادَ قَلْبِي يَطِيرُ .
Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im Narrated from:
It was narrated from Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut’im that his father said: “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting At-Tur (52) in the Maghrib.” In a different narration, Jubair said: “And when I heard him recite:‘Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?’ up to: ‘Then let their listener produce some manifest proof’,[52:35-38]it was as if my heart were about to take flight.”

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 832
This Hadith about At-Tur in Maghrib prayer reports that Jubair bin Mut’im heard the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) reciting Surah At-Tur in Maghrib. Another wording in the text mentions Jubair’s strong response when he heard the verses asking whether people were created by nothing or created themselves, up to the challenge for clear proof. He said it was as if his heart were about to take flight. The narration therefore gives two connected points: the Prophet’s recitation of Surah At-Tur in Maghrib and the deep effect of those Qur’an verses on the listener. It does not add a story beyond that, so the lesson stays close to the words given.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was heard reciting Surah At-Tur in Maghrib.
- Specific verses from Surah At-Tur are mentioned in the report.
- Jubair described a strong inner response to hearing those verses.
- The Hadith shows that Qur’an recitation in prayer can deeply affect a listener.
