Bayhaqi 2910 — Those who said one does not recite behind the imam

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الدَّقَّاقُ قَالَا: ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: " يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قُرْآنٌ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: وَجَبَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: يَا كَثِيرُ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ: لَا أَرَى الْإِمَامَ إِذَا أَمَّ الْقَوْمَ أَنْ قَدْ كَفَاهُمْ " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: الصَّوَابُ: إِنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ كَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ: وَهِمَ فِيهِ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رَوَى زَيْدٌ كَمَا رَوَاهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَهُوَ إِمَامٌ حَافِظٌ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى الْقِرَاءَةَ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ كَانَ لَا يَرَاهَا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ.
(a) Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), is recitation required in every prayer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." A man from among the people said: Recitation has become obligatory. Then Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, while I was beside him: "O Kathir (this is the narrator's name), I think that the imam's recitation is sufficient for the followers."
(b) Ali said: The correct view is that this is the statement of Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) himself, as Ibn Wahb narrated it; Zayd bin al-Hubab erred in it. Zayd also narrated it as Ibn Wahb narrated it, and Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi, who is an imam and a hafiz, narrated it from Mu'awiyah bin Salih and made it the statement of Abu al-Darda. It has been narrated to us from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he held the view of reciting behind the imam, while Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) did not hold the view of reciting behind the imam.
