Al-Qiyamah 75:16
The Resurrection · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 577
Do Not Move Your Tongue
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ١٦
Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, what the pronoun refers to is not obvious; but by the general view the Prophet is told not to hurry while revelation came, for fear of forgetting.
Reflect
Read the Qur’an today without hurrying, listening as you go.
