What is the ruling on one who recites the Qur'an in the mosque, raises his voice, and disturbs the worshippers?

The questioner : Some people end up in the mosque raising their voice with the Qur'an and disturbing all the people who are praying. Is that correct?

The Shaykh : Correct.

The questioner : Or some of them, if you ask him to stop, he says, "This is the word of Allah; you didn't want to hear it."

The Shaykh : Regarding this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions while they were praying and reciting over one another: "Do not harm one another with your recitation; do not cause harm." So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made raising the voice a form of harm. This man says, "My brother, do not raise your voice; you are disturbing the worshippers and the reciters as well, because some people have a loud voice, and perhaps the recitation is good, but it distracts them."
