English translation
1377. It was reported from Muslim bin Khālid, from Al-'Alā' bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān, from his father, from Abū Hurairah, who said: "Once, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to the Masjid during Ramaḍān, and saw a group of people praying in a corner of the Masjid. He asked: 'Who are these people?' He was told: 'These are people who have not (memorized) any Qur'ān, and so Ubayy bin Ka'b is praying, and they are praying with his prayer (behind him).' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'They have acted correctly, and what a good thing they have done!' (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: This Hadīth is not strong; Muslim bin Khālid is a weak narrator.
