ahmad:9711Wakīʿ > Ibn Abū Laylá > ʿAṭāʾ > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to lead us in prayer, sometimes he would raise his voice and sometimes he would lower it. So we would raise our voices and lower them according to his actions. I heard him say, "There is no prayer except with recitation."  

أحمد:٩٧١١حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَؤُمُّنَا فَيَجْهَرُ وَيُخَافِتُ فَجَهَرْنَا فِيمَا جَهَرَ وَخَافَتْنَا فِيمَا خَافَتَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا بِقِرَاءَةٍ
