918. It was narrated that 'Imrân bin Ḥuṣain said: "The Prophet ﷺ prayed Zuhr and a man behind him recited: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.[1] When he had finished praying, he said: 'Who recited: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High?' A man said: 'I did. He said: 'I realized that some of you were disputing with me over it.'" (Sahih)
917 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ، فَقَرَأَ رَجُلٌ خَلْفَهُ: سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا. قَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ قَدْ خَالَجَنِيهَا»

The Prophet's ﷺ rejection applies when one recites it aloud in such a way that his recitation disorients a fellow-worshipper or the prayer-leader. If one recites it in one's mind or in a whisper that someone beside him or before him cannot hear, then there is no harm in his recitation. In inaudible prayers, one may recite additional Surahs besides Surat Al-Fātiḥah.
