English translation
828. It was reported from Shu'bah, from Qatādah, from Zurārah, from Imrān bin Ḥuṣain that the Prophet ﷺ prayed Zuhr and a man came and recited behind him: Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High.[2] When he had completed the prayer, he asked: "Who among you recited?" They replied, "A man (among us)." He said: "I knew that some of you were trying to snatch it from me." (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: In his narration, Abū Al-Walīd said: "Shu'bah said: 'So I said to Qatādah: 'Is not the opinion of Sa'eed that one should listen silently to the Qur'an?' He replied: 'That is only when (the Imām) recites aloud.'" In his narration, Ibn Kathīr[1] said: "I (Shu'bah) said to Qatādah: 'It appears he (the Prophet ﷺ) disliked it.' So he (Qatādah) replied: 'If he disliked it, he would have prohibited it.'"
