Hadith 733
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَخْفِضُ صَوْتَهُ ، وَمَرَّ بِعُمَرَ يُصَلِّي رَافِعًا صَوْتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، مَرَرْتُ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي تَخْفِضُ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ " ، قَالَ : قَدْ أَسْمَعْتُ مَنْ نَاجَيْتُ ، قَالَ : " وَمَرَرْتُ بِكَ يَا عُمَرُ ، وَأَنْتَ تَرْفَعُ صَوْتَكَ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُوقِظُ الْوَسْنَانَ ، وَأَحْتَسِبُ بِهِ . قَالَ : فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " ارْفَعْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ شَيْئًا " ، وَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لِعُمَرَ : " اخْفِضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ شَيْئًا " .
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was performing prayer and reciting the Qur’an in a low voice. He then passed by Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who was performing prayer and reciting the Qur’an in a loud voice. The narrator states: When both of them came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Bakr! I passed by you while you were performing prayer and reciting in a low voice. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: I was making Him hear Whom I was supplicating to. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Umar! I also passed by you, and you were reciting in a loud voice. He replied: O Messenger of Allah! I wanted to wake up the sleeping person and hoped for reward through it. The narrator states: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): Raise your voice a little, and to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): Lower your voice a little.
