Bayhaqi 2896 — Those who said one does not recite behind the imam

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَلْخِيُّ، ثنا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى وَكَانَ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ يَقْرَأُ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَاهُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ: أَتَنْهَانِي عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‍ فَتَنَازَعَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّ قِرَاءَةَ الْإِمَامِ لَهُ قِرَاءَةٌ " هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ مَوْصُولًا، وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْهُ مُرْسَلًا دُونَ ذِكْرِ جَابِرٍ، وَهُوَ الْمَحْفُوظُ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed while people behind him were reciting, and a man from among the Companions began forbidding them from reciting in the prayer. When they finished the prayer, a man turned to him and said: Were you forbidding me from reciting behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? They argued until they put the matter before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is praying behind the imam, the recitation of the imam is his recitation." [Munkar (rejected). Abu Hatim said so in al-'Ilal 282]
A group narrated it thus from Abu Hanifah as connected (mawsul), while Abdullah bin al-Mubarak narrated it from him as mursal, without mentioning Jabir, and that is the preserved (mahfuz) version.
