He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I experience tightness in my chest when reciting the Qur'an, so what is the guidance in this matter?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
(98) So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy]. (99) Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
