Nafib. Mahmudb. Al-Rabi Al-Ansari said: “Ubadah bin al-Samit came to late to lead the morning prayer. Abu Nuaim, the Muadhdhin, pronounced the takbir and he led the people in prayer. Then Ubadah came and I was with him. We Joined the row behind Abu Nuaim, while Abu Nuaim was reciting the Quran loudly. Then Ubadah began to recite the Umm al-Quran (I. e Surah al Fatihah). When he finished, I said to Ubadah: I heard you reciting the Umm al-Quran while Abu Nuaim was reciting Quran loudly. He replied: yes> The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in a certain prayer in which the Quran is recited loudly, but he became confused in the recitation. When he finished he turned his face to us and said: Do you recite when I recite the Quran loudly? Some of us said: we do so; this is why I said to myself: What is that which confused me (in the recitation of ) the Quran. Do not recite anything from the Quran when I recite it loudly except the Umm al-Quran.

The above mentioned tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Ubadah bin al-Samit like the version of al-Rabib Sulaiman. This version adds: Makhul used to recite Surah al Fatihah al-kitab quietly in the prayer in which the imam recites the Quran loudly when he observes the period of silence. If he does not observe the period of silence, recite it before him (i. e before his recitation), or along with him or after him; do not give it up in any case.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished a prayer in which he had recited (the Quran) loudly, he asked: Did any of you recite along with me just now? A man replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He said: I am wondering what is the matter with me that I have been contended with reciting the Quran. He said: When the people heard that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ they ceased reciting (the Quran) along with him at the prayers in which he recited aloud. Abu Dawud said: This tradition reported by Ibn Ukaimah has also been narrated by Mamar, Yunus, and Usamah bin Zaid on the authority of al-Zuhri similar to the tradition of Malik.

Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, that was, we think, the dawn prayer, He further narrated this tradition up to the words “what is the matter with me that I have been contended with in (the recitation of ) the Quran. ” Abu Dawud said: Musaddad in his tradition said that Mamar said: The people ceased to recit (the Quran) at the prayer in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited aloud. Ibn al-Sarh said in his version that Mamar reported from al-Zuhrl on the authority of Ab Hurairah. Then the people ceased (to recite behind the imam). Another version says: Sufyan said: Al-Zuhrl spoke a word that I could not hear. Then Mamar said; He said: Then people ceased (to recite the Quran) Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Abd al-Raman bin Ishaq on the authority of al-Zuhrl. This version ends at the words: “What is the matter with me that I am contended with in (the recitation of ) the Quran. Al-Awza’ I also narrated it on the authority of al-Zuhri. This version has: Al-Zuhrl said: The Muslims took lesson from that and thenceforth they did not recite (the Quran) at the prayer in which he (the Prophet) recited a loud. Abu Dawud said: I heard Muhammad bin Yaya bin Faris say: The words “ the people ceased to recite (the Quran)” is a statement of al-zuhri.

Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: The Prophet ﷺ led (us) in the noon prayer, and a man came and recited behind him "Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High" (Surah 87). When he finished (the prayer), he said: Which of you recited? They (the people) said: A man (recited). He said: I knew that some one of you confused me in it (in the recitation of the Quran). Abu Dawud said: Abu al-Walid said in his version: Shubah said: I asked Qatadah: Did Saeed not say: Listen attentively to the Quran? He replied: (Yes), but that applies to prayer in which it (the Quran) is recited aloud. Ibn Kathir said in his version: I said to Qatadah: Perhaps he (the Prophet) disliked it (recitation). He said: If he had disliked it, he would have prohibited it.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were reciting the Quran, and there were among us bedouins and the non-Arabs. He said: Recite, all is well. In the near future there will appear people who will straighten it (the Quran) as an arrow is straightened. They will recite it quickly and not slowly (or it means that they will get the reward in this world and not in the Hereafter).

Sahl bin Saad al-Saeedi said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day came out to us while we were reciting the Quran. He said: Praise be to Allah. The Book of Allah is one, and among you are the red, and among you are the white and among you are the black. Recite it before there appear people who will recite it and straighten it as an arrow is straightened. They will get their reward for it in this world and will not get it in the Hereafter.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I cannot memorise anything from the Quran: so teach me something which is sufficient for me. He said: Say Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is most great, and there is no might and no strength but in Allah.: He said: Messenger of Allah, this is for Allah, but what is for me? He said: Say: O Allah have mercy on me, and sustain me, and keep me well, and guide me. When he stood up, he made a sign with his hand (indicating that he had earned a lot). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He filed up his hand with virtues.

Jabir bin Abdullah said: we used to offer supererogatory prayers and recite supplications while we were standing, and would glorify Allah while bowing and prostrating.
