[quote]also as described in the above ref. from renaissance journal, the relevant verse has been explaind by the prophet sws in the following hadith, explaining it's context. 
Abu Da'ud, No: 1329; Tirmadhi, No: 447.

read the section again:

[blue]&quot;It is evident from the narratives that initially in this (tahajjud/the prayer of solitude) prayer, the Qur'an was at times recited loudly and at times silently. Later, the Almighty directed the Prophet (sws) to recite it in a medium pitch:[/blue]

[green]وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً (١١٠:١٧)[/green]

And pray neither with too loud a voice nor in a soft one, but, between these extremes, seek a middle course. (17:110)

[purple]Consequently, the Prophet (sws) also directed his Companions (rta) to recite in this way. Abu Qatadah narrates that the Prophet told Abu Bakr (rta): &quot;When I passed by you, you were reciting the Qur'an in a low pitch [in the night prayer].&quot; He replied: &quot;I recite it to Him Who hears [even my] whispers.&quot; The Prophet continued: &quot;Raise your pitch a little.&quot; Then he told 'Umar (rta): &quot;When I passed by you, you were reciting the Qur'an in a very loud pitch.&quot; He replied: &quot;I awake those who sleep, and make Satan run away.&quot; The Prophet said: &quot;Lower your pitch a little.&quot;
