Tafseer of Surah Ar-Rahman Ayat 1 to 4. (Allah) Most Gracious! 2. It is He Who has taught the Qur´an. The Revelation comes from Allah Most Gracious, and it is one of the greatest Signs of His grace and favour. He is the source of all Light, and His light is diffused throughout the universe. 3. He has created man: 4. He has taught him speech (and intelligence). Bayan: intelligent speech: power of expression: capacity to understand clearly the relation of things and to explain them. Allah has given this to man, and besides this revelation in man's own heart, has aided him with revelation in nature and revelation through prophets and messengers. 

Hazrat Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said to me: "Recite the Qur'an to me". I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite the Qur'an to you, when it has been revealed to you?'' He  [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "I love to hear it recited by others". So I recited to him a portion from Surat An-Nisa'. When I reached the Ayah: "How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad  [SAWW](PBUH) as a witness against these people?". (4:41) He [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Enough for now". When I looked at him I saw his eyes were shedding tears.  [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 106].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Ar-Rahman Ayat 4. He taught him eloquent speech" This Hadith tells us that besides the recitation of the Noble Qur'an, a Muslim should also listen to it from others so that he can contemplate further on it. It also makes one weep when one listens to the Noble Qur'an.
