English translation

824. It was reported from Makhūl, from Nāfi' bin Maḥmūd bin Ar-Rabī' Al-Anṣārī who said: "Once 'Ubādah (bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit) was late for the Ṣubḥ prayer, so Abū Nu'aim, the Mu'adh-dhin, called the Iqāmah, and led the people in prayer. 'Ubādah came, and I was with him, and we stood behind Abū Nu'aim while he was reciting out loud. 'Ubādah started reciting Fātiḥatil-Kitāb. When he finished, I said to him: 'I heard you reciting Fātiḥatil-Kitāb while Abū Nu'aim was reciting out loud (as well).' He replied: 'Yes. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed a prayer in which the recitation is done out loud, and the recitation became difficult for him. When he finished, he turned around to face us and said: "Do you recite when I recite out loud?" Some of us replied: "We do indeed do that." So he said: "Then do not (do so), for I was saying (to myself) 'What is the matter with me that I am struggling with the Qur'an?' So do not recite anything of the Qur'an when I recite out loud, except the Mother of the Book.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

824 - حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ نَافِعٌ: أَبْطَأَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، فَأَقَامَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْمُؤَذِّنُ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ بِالنَّاسِ، وَأَقْبَلَ عُبَادَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، حَتَّى صَفَفْنَا خَلْفَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَجَعَلَ عُبَادَةُ يَقْرَأُ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، قُلْتُ لِعُبَادَةَ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ يَجْهَرُ، قَالَ: أَجَلْ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّتِي يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ قَالَ: فَالْتَبَسَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ، وَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَقْرَءُونَ إِذَا جَهَرْتُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ؟»، فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا: إِنَّا نَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَلَا، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَا لِي يُنَازِعُنِي الْقُرْآنُ، فَلَا تَقْرَءُوا بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا جَهَرْتُ إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ "،
