        "summary": "The article discusses how tone matters in Islamic etiquette, drawing on Surah al-Hujuraat and the story of Tsabit bin Qais, who feared he might be judged for speaking too loudly before the Prophet. It shows how verses 2 and 3 of al-Hujuraat were revealed to teach humility, taqwa, and proper conduct before the Prophet.",
        "content": "<p>Voice intonation often carries its own meaning beyond the words\nspoken. The etiquette generally dictates that a person uses a normal, or\neven soft, tone when addressing someone held in higher esteem, such as a\nleader or a scholar. People tend to speak more freely in a casual tone\nwhen conversing with friends or others of the same status or age.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of voice intonation is also described in the Qur\u2019an, in\nSurah Al-Hujuraat, Verse 2. The context of revelation relates to\ninstances where some people used a loud voice when speaking to the\nProphet Muhammad (Rasulullah SAW). The meaning of the verse is: \u2018O you\nwho believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet,\nand do not speak to him in a loud voice as your loudness is toward one\nanother, lest your deeds be nullified without you realising.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As recounted by Ibn Jarir from Qatadah, among the Prophet\u2019s\ncompanions there were those who spoke to the Messenger of Allah in a\nraised voice. Allah then revealed this verse (QS Al-Hujuraat, Verse\n2).<\/p>\n<p>One day, Tsabit bin Qais was seen sitting in the middle of the\nstreet. He appeared weak, even sobbing and weeping.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, Ashim bin Uday bin Ajlan passed by. Ashim asked, \u2018Why\nare you crying?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tsabit replied, \u2018Because of this verse (Al-Hujuraat, Verse 2). I am\nvery afraid that this verse might apply to me, for I am a man who spoke\nloudly.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ashim reported the incident to the Messenger of Allah. Soon\nafterwards, the Prophet summoned Tsabit.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018O Tsabit, would you be willing to live in nobility and die as a\nmartyr?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tsabit immediately answered, \u2018Yes, Messenger of Allah. I am glad by\nthis good news from Allah and His Messenger. I promise never again to\nspeak louder than your own voice.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Then Allah revealed the next verse, Surah Al-Hujuraat, Verse 3:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of the\nMessenger of Allah are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for taqwa.\nThey will receive forgiveness and a great reward.\u2019<\/p>",
