827. (Others reported)[1] from Sufyān, from Az-Zuhri, he said: "I heard Ibn Ukaimah narrating to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, he said: 'I heard Abū Hurairah saying: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once led us in prayer." — We think it was the morning prayer — with the same meaning up to his saying: "Why is it that I am struggling in my (recitation) of the Qur'an?" (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: In his narration, Musad-dad said: "Ma'mar said: 'So the people stopped reciting behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in those prayers that he used to recite out loud.'"[2] In his narration Ibn As-Sarḥ said: "Ma'mar said, from Az-Zuhri: 'Abū Hurairah said: "So the people stopped."' And 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad Az-Zuhri who was among them[3] said: "Sufyān said: 'Az-Zuhri said [1] He heard this narration from Musad-dad, Ahmad bin Muḥammad Al-Marwazi, Muḥammad bin Ahmad bin Abī Khalf, 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad Az-Zuhri, and (Ahmad bin 'Amr) Ibn As-Sarḥ - all of them narrated it from Sufyān. [2] That is, this is how Ma'mar narrated it according to Musad-dad's narration, without mentioning whose statement that is. [3] Meaning, he was there when Sufyān narrated it and Ma'mar was also present and clarified its wording. something that I did not hear.' So Ma'mar said that he had said: 'So the people stopped.'" Abū Dāwud said: 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ishāq reported it from Az-Zuhri, and his narration ended at his saying: "Why is it that I am struggling in my (recitation) of the Qur'an?" And Al-Awzā'i reported it from Az-Zuhri, he said in it: "Az-Zuhri said: 'The Muslims considered that an admonishment that they should not recite with him in what he recited aloud.'" Abū Dāwud said: I heard Muḥammad bin Yaḥyā bin Fāris say: "His saying: 'So the people stopped' is from the saying of Az-Zuhri."[1]
