Bayhaqi 4700 — The manner of recitation in the night prayer, aloud

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ الْقَنْطَرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَاكِرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّالَحِينِيُّ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَخْفِضُ مِنْ صَوْتِهِ، وَمَرَّ بِعُمَرَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي رَافِعًا صَوْتَهُ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، مَرَرْتُ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي تَخْفِضُ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ " قَالَ: لَقَدْ أَسْمَعْتُ مَنْ نَاجَيْتُ فَقَالَ: " مَرَرْتُ بِكَ يَا عُمَرُ وَأَنْتَ تَرْفَعُ صَوْتَكَ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أحْتَسِبُ بِهِ، أُوقِظُ الْوَسْنَانَ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: " ارْفَعْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ شَيْئًا "، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: " اخْفِضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ شَيْئًا "..
Abdullah bin Rabah narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was reciting in a low voice, and passed by Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was reciting in a loud voice. When both of them (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Bakr! I passed by you while you were praying with your voice lowered." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was making the One with whom I was conversing in secret hear me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Umar! I passed by you while you had raised your voice." He said: O Messenger of Allah! I intended to wake those who were asleep. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him): "Raise your voice a little," and said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Lower your voice a little."
