[Machine] He heard Abu Hurairah saying, "Some people used to read with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a prayer where they would recite aloud. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, he turned to them and said, 'Did anyone read with me?' They replied, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I thought to myself, why should I compete with the Quran?' Az-Zuhri said that the Muslims were admonished by this, and they stopped reciting aloud. Al-Awza'i preserved this statement as coming from Az-Zuhri, but he separated it from the hadith, except that he did not preserve its authenticity."
