Yazid bin Sharik narrates that he asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about recitation behind the imam, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Always recite Surah al-Fatihah. I said: Even if you yourself are the imam? He said: Yes! Even if it is me. I said: Even if you are reciting aloud? He said: Yes! Even if I am reciting aloud.
