Bayhaqi 2917 — Those who said one recites al-Fatihah behind the imam

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَزْدِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، ⦗٢٣٥⦘ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ نَافِعٌ: أَبْطَأَ عُبَادَةُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، فَأَقَامَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْمُؤَذِّنُ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ بِالنَّاسِ، فَأَقْبَلَ عُبَادَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ، حَتَّى صَفَفْنَا خَلْفَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَجَعَلَ عُبَادَةُ يَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ لِعُبَادَةَ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ يَجْهَرُ قَالَ: أَجَلْ، صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّتِي يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَالْتَبَسَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ تَقْرَءُونَ إِذَا جَهَرْتُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ؟ " فَقَالَ: بَعْضُنَا: إِنَّا نَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: " فَلَا وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَا لِيَ أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ فَلَا تَقْرَءُوا بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا جَهَرْتُ إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ ".
Nafi' narrated that Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) was delayed for the morning prayer, so Abu Nu'aym the mu'adhdhin (who was the first to give the adhan in Bayt al-Maqdis) led the people in prayer. Meanwhile Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived, and I was with him. We joined the prayer behind Abu Nu'aym. Abu Nu'aym was reciting aloud, and Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) began reciting Surah al-Fatihah (quietly). When they had finished the prayer, I said to Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard you reciting Surah al-Fatihah while Abu Nu'aym was reciting aloud? He said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in a prayer with loud recitation, and the recitation became difficult for him. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he turned his blessed face towards us and said: "When I recite aloud, do you perhaps also recite?" Some of us said: We do so. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do so. That is why I was thinking: what is the reason that reciting the Qur'an is becoming difficult for me? So when I recite aloud, do not recite anything of the Qur'an except Surah al-Fatihah."
