Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 49-51

Chapter 12: Prohibiting the Follower from Reciting Aloud Behind an Imam.

‘Imran b. Husain reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be upon Him) led us In Zuhr or ‘Asr prayer (noon or the afternoon prayer). (On concluding it) he said: Who recited behind me (the verses): Sabbih Isma Rabbik al-a’la (Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High)? There upon a person said: It was I, but I intended nothing but goodness. I felt that some one of you was disputing with me in it (or he was taking out from my tongue what I was reciting), said the Prophet (ﷺ). (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 49)

‘Imran b. Husain reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed the Zuhr prayer and a person recited Sabbih Isma Rabbik al-a’la (Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High) behind him. When he (the Holy Prophet) concluded the prayer he said: Who amongst you recited (the above-mentioned verse) or who amongst you was the reciter? A person said: It was I. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) observed: I thought as if someone amongst you was disputing with me (in what I was reciting). (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 50)

This hadith has been narrated by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed Zuhr prayer and said:

I felt that someone amongst you was disputing with me (in what I was reciting). (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 51)
