Bayhaqi 2901 — Those who said one does not recite behind the imam

وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ صَلَّى وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ كَفَاهُ قِرَاءَةُ الْإِمَامِ " هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمُوَطَّأِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْقُوفًا وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ مَرْفُوعًا ⦗٢٣٠⦘ وَهُوَ خَطَأٌ وَسُوَيْدٌ تَغَيَّرَ بِآخِرِهِ فَكَثُرَ الْخَطَأُ فِي رِوَايَاتِهِ، وَرُوِيَ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَرْفُوعًا، وَخَارِجَةُ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِهِ. أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ أَبِي نَصْرٍ الدَّارَبَرْدِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَانَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَافِظَ هُوَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ يَقُولُ: حَدِيثُ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِمَامٌ " غَلَطٌ مُنْكَرٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ عَلَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ خِلَافُهُ قَالَ عَبْدَانُ: ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَبِّ هَذِهِ الْبِنْيَةِ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ صَلَاةً لَا أَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، كَذَا قَالَ ".
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Whoever prays behind the imam, the recitation of the imam is sufficient for him."
(b) Through another chain it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Whoever is praying with an imam, the recitation of the imam is sufficient for him."
(c) Abu al-Azhar said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about reciting behind the imam, and he said: "I feel shy before the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah) to offer a prayer in which I do not recite Surah al-Fatihah."
This is the authentic report from Ibn Umar as his own statement. The version narrated from Suwayd bin Sa'id from Ali bin Mushir from Ubaydullah as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet) is an error; Suwayd's memory changed towards the end of his life, so errors multiplied in his narrations. It was also narrated from Kharijah bin Mus'ab from Ayyub from Nafi' as marfu', and Kharijah is not used as evidence. Abdan bin Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Marwazi said: The hadith of Kharijah from Ayyub from Nafi' from Ibn Umar from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Whoever has an imam", is a munkar (rejected) error; it is only Ibn Umar's own statement, although the opposite of it has also been narrated from Ibn Umar.
