O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless while you perceive not.
Tafseer
{ يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا ترفعوا أصواتكم } إذا نطقتم { فوق صوت النبي } إذا نطق { ولا تجهروا له بالقول } إذا ناجيتموه { كجهر بعضكم لبعض } بل دون ذلك إجلالا له { أن تحبط أعمالكم وأنتم لا تشعرون } أي خشية ذلك بالرفع والجهر المذكورين، ونزل فيمن كان يخفض صوته عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كأبي بكر وعمر وغيرهما رضى الله عنهم .
{O you who have believed, do not raise your voices} when you speak {over the voice of the Prophet} when he speaks {nor be loud to him in speech} when you speak privately {like the loudness of some of you to others} but rather lower than that out of reverence for him {lest your deeds become worthless while you do not perceive} that is, fear of that by raising and speaking loudly mentioned. It was revealed regarding those who lowered their voices in the presence of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, such as Abu Bakr, Umar, and others, may God be pleased with them.
