English translation
826. It was reported from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb, from Ibn Ukaimah Al-Laithī, from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once turned around (after completing) a prayer in which he had recited out loud, and said: "Did one of you just recite with me now?" (One man) said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allāh." He replied: "I was saying (to myself) why is it that I am struggling in my (recitation) of the Qur'an." So when the people heard this, they stopped reciting in those prayers in which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited out loud. (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Ma'mar, Yūnus, and Usāmah bin Zaid reported the Hadīth of Ibn Ukaimah from Az-Zuhri with the same meaning reported by Mālik.
