920. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ finished a prayer in which he recited out loud, then he said: 'Did any one of you recite with me just now?' A man said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'I was wondering what was distracting me in reciting Qur'ân.'" So the people stopped reciting in prayers in which the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited out loud when they heard that. (Sahîh)
919 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ جَهَرَ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ قَرَأَ مَعِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ آنِفًا؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ» قَالَ: فَانْتَهَى النَّاسُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِيمَا جَهَرَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ

The Prophet's ﷺ denial in this narration was due to a follower's loud recitation, because the prayer-leader encounters inconvenience only when someone's humming reaches out to him. If one recites inaudibly without being heard by anyone else, what kind of annoyance or irritation would it cause? None, actually. However, in audible prayers, followers of the Imâm have been explicitly prevented from reciting more than the Surat Al-Fātiḥah. Therefore, in audible prayers, followers may not recite more than the Fātiḥah either audibly or inaudibly.
