in some Arab countries, not caring about his (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) saying: "O people! Each of you is conversing with his Lord, so do not raise your voices over one another in recitation; thereby harming the believers." This is an authentic ḥadīth: narrated by Mālik, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Khuzaymah, and others, and it is included in "Ṣaḥīḥ Sunan Abī Dāwūd" (1203). Ibn Khuzaymah titled it (2/190): "Chapter on the prohibition of raising the voice in recitation during prayer if some of the worshippers are harmed by the loudness." For this reason, Imām al-Shāfiʿī said in "al-Umm" (1/110) - following the aforementioned ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās -: "I prefer for the imām and the follower to remember Allāh after finishing the prayer; and they should do so quietly unless the imām wants to be learned from, in which case he should raise his voice until he sees that it has been learned from him, then he should lower it; for Allāh ﷿ says: (And do not recite loudly in your prayer nor quietly) [al-Isrāʾ: 110] meaning - and Allāh knows best -: the supplication, (do not recite loudly): do not raise, (nor quietly): so that you do not hear yourself. I think that what Ibn al-Zubayr narrated about the Prophet's (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) glorification, and what Ibn ʿAbbās narrated about his magnification... he only raised his voice a little so that people would learn from him, because most of the narrations we have written - including this and others - do not mention glorification or magnification after the salutation, and it is mentioned that he remembered after prayer as I described, and it is mentioned that he left without mentioning, and Umm Salamah mentioned his staying without mentioning aloud, and I think it was only to remember quietly." I said: This is the utmost in verification and understanding from this imām, may Allāh reward him well
