The Book of Prayers

كتاب الصلاة

(12) Chapter: Prohibiting The Follower From Reciting Aloud Behind An Imam

باب نَهْىِ الْمَأْمُومِ عَنْ جَهْرِهِ، بِالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ إِمَامِهِ ‏

‘Imran b. Husain reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed the Zuhr prayer and a person recited Sabbih Isma Rabbik al-a’la (Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High) behind him. When he (the Holy Pro- phet) concluded the prayer he said: Who amongst you recited (the above-mentioned verse) or who amongst you was the reciter? A person said: It was I. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) observed: I thought as if someone amongst you was disputing with me (in what I was reciting).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَوْفَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ خَلْفَهُ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏”‏ أَيُّكُمْ قَرَأَ ‏”‏ أَوْ ‏”‏ أَيُّكُمُ الْقَارِئُ ‏”‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ قَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ خَالَجَنِيهَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏
