أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قال : حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قال : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قال : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ قال : حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَفِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : وَجَبَتْ هَذِهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَكُنْتُ أَقْرَبَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ : " مَا أَرَى الْإِمَامَ إِذَا أَمَّ الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا قَدْ كَفَاهُمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : هَذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَأٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَلَمْ يُقْرَأْ هَذَا مَعَ الْكِتَابِ .
´Kathir bin Murrah Al-Hadrami narrated that :` He heard Abu Ad-Darda say: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: 'Is there recitation in every prayer?' He said: 'Yes.' A man among the Ansar said: 'Is that obligatory?' He (Abu Ad-Darda) turned to me (Kathir), as I was closest of the people to him, and said: 'I think that if the Imam leads the people, that is sufficient for them.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
924. Commentary: Imam al-Nasa’i rahimahullah has explicitly stated that the one who turned and expressed the opinion was Abu Darda’ radi Allahu anhu, not the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In this statement as well, sufficiency is intended regarding recitation beyond al-Fatihah. (For the discussion on sufficiency, see Hadith: 911.) Furthermore, this narration is weak, as has been clarified below.
