وَعَنْ طَاوُوسٍ مُرْسَلًا قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنُ صَوْتًا لِلْقُرْآنِ؟ وَأَحْسَنُ قِرَاءَةً؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتَهُ يقْرَأ أَرَأَيْت أَنَّهُ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ» . قَالَ طَاوُوسٌ: وَكَانَ طَلْقٌ كَذَلِك. رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ

Tāwūs told in mursal form that when the Prophet was asked who had the most beautiful voice for the Qur’ān and whose recitation was most beautiful he replied, "The one of whom you think when you hear him recite that he fears God.” Tāwūs added that Talq* was like that. * A companion of the Prophet who belonged to al-Yamāma. Dārimī transmitted it.
