“I heard Abu Hurairah say: ‘The Prophet ﷺ led his Companions in a prayer; we think it was the Subh. He said: “Did anyone among you recite?” A man said: “I did.” He said: “I was saying to myself, what is wrong with me that someone is fighting to wrest the Qur’an from me?”  

ابن ماجة:٨٤٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلاَةً نَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الصُّبْحُ فَقَالَ هَلْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا قَالَ إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, that was, we think, the dawn prayer, He further narrated this tradition up to the words “what is the matter with me that I have been contended with in (the recitation of ) the Qur’an.” Abu Dawud said: Musaddad in his tradition said that Ma’mar said: The people ceased to recite (the Qur’an) at the prayer in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited aloud. Ibn al-Sarh said in his version that Ma’mar reported from al-Zuhri on the authority of Abu Hurairah. Then the people ceased (to recite behind the imam). Another version says: Sufyan said: Al-Zuhri spoke a word that I could not hear. Then Ma’mar said: He said: Then people ceased (to recite the Qur’an) Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by ‘Abd al-Raman b. Ishaq on the authority of al-Zuhri. This version ends at the words: “What is the matter with me that I am contended with in (the recitation of) the Qur’an. Al-Awza’i also narrated it on the authority of al-Zuhri. This version has: Al-Zuhri said: The Muslims took lesson from that and thenceforth they did not recite (the Qur’an) at the prayer in which he (the Prophet) recited aloud. Abu Dawud said: I heard Muhammad b. Yaya b. Faris say: The words “the people ceased to recite (the Qur’an)” is a statement of al-zuhri.

[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, a prayer that we thought was Fajr (dawn prayer). When he finished his prayer, he asked, "Has anyone among you recited?" A man replied, "I have." The man said, "I would not dare compete in reciting the Qur'an with you." Ma'mar narrated from Az-Zuhri that people refrained from reciting loudly what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite loudly. Sufyan said, "This word confused me."

[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?"

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
