so pay attention and listen quietly when the Quran is recited, so that you may be given mercy.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

So, when the Qur’ân is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. [i.e. during the compulsory congregational prayers when the Imâm (of a mosque) is leading the prayer (except Sûrat Al-Fâtihah), and also when he is delivering the Friday-prayer Khutbah]. (Tafsir At-Tabari).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
