Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3838 — Those who disliked reciting behind
٣٨٣٨ - حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن ابن عجلان عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبي صالح عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبّروُا، وَإذَا قَرَأ فَأَنْصِتُوا" (١).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is appointed only to be followed. So when he says the takbir, say the takbir; and when he recites, remain silent."
