English translation

604. It was reported from Abū Khālid, from Ibn ‘Ajlān, from Zaid bin Aslam, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: “The Imām has been placed in order that he be followed...” (a narration similar to no. 603) and he added in this narration: “...and when he recites, then remain quiet.” (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: This addition: “...and when he recites, then remain quiet,” is not preserved. We believe that the mistake is from Abū Khālid.

Arabic text

604 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ» بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ زَادَ «وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا لَيْسَتْ بِمَحْفُوظَةٍ الْوَهْمُ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ»

    [1] That is, he narrated this from Muslim bin Ibrāhīm and Sulaimān bin Harb, and he noted the different wording, but he either heard differently from Sulaimān or was not sure, and some of his contemporaries narrated it from Sulaimān with this wording to verify it.
