ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ رَفْعِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ لِلْمَأْمُومِ خَلْفَ إِمَامِهِ

ibnhibban:1843Ibn Qutaybah > Yazīd b. Hārūn > al-Layth > Ibn Shihāb > Ibn Ukaymah > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] Heﷺ said to us, the messenger of Allahﷺ led us in prayer in which he recited aloud. When he finished, he turned to the people and said, "Did anyone among you recite before me?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "I would never argue with the Quran."  

ابن حبّان:١٨٤٣أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَجَهَرَ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ اسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ قَرَأَ آنِفًا مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «لَأَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ! »

ahmad:7833Muḥammad b. Bakr > Ibn Jurayj > Ibn Shihāb > Ibn Ukaymah

[Machine] Abu Huraira prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a loud voice, then he said the salutation and faced the people. He said, "Did anyone recite with me beforehand?" They said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Why did I not compete with the Quran?"  

أحمد:٧٨٣٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أُكَيْمَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ هَلْ قَرَأَ مَعِي أَحَدٌ آنِفًا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ؟  

ahmad:10318Ismāʿīl > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Isḥāq > al-Zuhrī > Ibn Ukaymah al-Junduʿī > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed a prayer in which he recited aloud. When he finished, he said, "Did anyone recite along with me?" A man from the people said, "I did." He said, "I say, what disagreement do I have regarding the Qur'an?"  

أحمد:١٠٣١٨حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ الْجُنْدُعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَجَهَرَ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ هَلْ قَرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مَعِي آنِفًا؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَنَا قَالَ إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ  

ذِكْرُ كَرَاهِيَةِ رَفْعِ الصَّوْتِ لِلْمَأْمُومِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ لِئَلَّا يُنَازِعُ الْإِمَامُ مَا يَقْرَؤُهُ

ibnhibban:1849ʿUmar b. Saʿīd b. Sinān > Aḥmad b. Abū Bakr > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > Ibn Ukaymah al-Laythī > Abū Hurayrah

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished a prayer in which he recited out loud, then he said: 'Did any one of you recite with me just now?' A man said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'I was wondering what was distracting me in reciting Quran.'" So the people stopped reciting in prayers in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited out loud when they heard that. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 919)   

ابن حبّان:١٨٤٩أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ اللَّيْثِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ جَهَرَ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ «هَلْ قَرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ آنِفًا؟ » فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ نَعَمْ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ » فَانْتَهَى النَّاسُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِيمَا جَهَرَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَ الصَّوْتِ حَيْثُ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، لَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ وَحْدَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a prayer and recited aloud. Some people read along with him. After he finished, he asked, "Has anyone among you recited?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "I do not compete in recitation of the Quran." He said, "Therefore, let the Muslims take a lesson from this, and they should not recite aloud."  

ابن حبّان:١٨٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْخٌ بِكُفْرِ تُوثَا مِنْ دِيَارِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ زُرَيْقٍ الرَّسْعَنِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَجَهَرَ فِيهَا فَقَرَأَ أُنَاسٌ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ «قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ » قَالَ «فَاتَّعَظَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَقْرَءُونَ»  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ الْأَخِيرَ فَانْتَهَى النَّاسُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَاتَّعَظَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِذَلِكَ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ قَوْلُ الزُّهْرِيِّ لَا مِنْ كَلَامِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

[Machine] Abu Huraira heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leading us in prayer and he recited loudly. When he finished the prayer, he said, "Did any one of you recite with me?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Why did I not hear anyone arguing with me in the recitation of the Qur'an?"
