924. Kathîr bin Murrah Al-Hadramî narrated that he heard Abû Ad-Dardâ' say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was asked: 'Is there recitation in every prayer?' He said: 'Yes.'" A man among the Ansâr said: 'Is that obligatory?' He (Abû Ad-Dardâ') turned to me (Kathîr), as I was the closest of the people to him, and said: 'I think
that if the Imâm leads the people, that is sufficient for them.”’ (Da’if)
Abû ‘Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ’î) said: It is a mistake to say that this is from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, rather it is the words of Abû Ad-Dardâ’. This was not recited with the book.

Commentary
Imâm An-Nasâ’î has offered explanation that the one who turned his attention and gave his opinion was the honorable Abû Ad-Darda ﷺ and not the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. In this statement also what is meant is recitation that is performed in excess of Surat Al-Fâtihah.
