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."

Thabit al-Bunani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in mursal form that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I wanted to wake those who were asleep, and I was driving away Satan.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَبُو حُصَيْنِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الرَّازِيُّ، ثنا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ: فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: " ارْفَعْ شَيْئًا " وَلَا لِعُمَرَ " اخْفِضْ شَيْئًا " قَالَ: " وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ يَا بِلَالُ، وَأَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ، وَمِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ ". قَالَ: كَلَامٌ طَيِّبٌ يَجْمَعُهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعْضُهُ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ أَصَابَ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this incident from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he did not mention that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Raise your voice," nor did he mention the words that he said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Lower your voice." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bilal, I heard that you recite from such-and-such a surah and such-and-such a surah." He said: "It is excellent and pure speech; Allah will join some of it to some other." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have hit upon what is right."
