"How will it be when We bring a witness from every nation, and We bring you [O Muhammad] as a witness against these [people]?" (4:41)

According to a hadith narrated by Bukhari, the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) once asked the Companion, Ibn Mas'ud, to recite the Qur'an. Ibn Mas'ud asked: "Should I be the one to recite to you, although it has been revealed to you?" The Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) answered: "Yes, it pleases me a great deal to hear someone else reciting." Ibn Mas'ud related: "Then I recited Surat'n-Nisa', and and when I came to verse 41, he said: 'Enough for now.' And when I looked at him, tears were streaming from his eyes.
