Sunan an-Nasai 920 (Book 11, Hadith 45) #15528
Reciting the Quran Out Loud

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed his followers to not recite the Quran out loud when he was reciting it out loud, except for Al Fatihah.

It was narrated that Ubadah bin As-Samit said: "The Messenger of Allah led us in one of the prayers in which the recitation is done out loud, and he said: 'None of you should recite when I recite out loud, apart from the Umm Al_quran (Al Fatihah)'."
أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَعْضَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّتِي يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَقْرَأَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا جَهَرْتُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ إِلاَّ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow instructions given by Prophet Muhammad PBUH ; Listen attentively without distraction ; Respectfully read or speak when someone else does so .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Ubadah bin As-Samit tells us that the Prophet Muhammad instructed his followers to not recite the Quran out loud when he was reciting it out loud. This is because it is disrespectful and distracting for others who are trying to listen and focus on what the Prophet is saying. However, there is an exception to this rule which is that one can still recite Surat al-Fatihah aloud while the Prophet recites loudly. This sura holds a special place in Islam as it contains many of its core beliefs and values such as belief in Allah and His Messenger, asking for guidance from Him, seeking refuge from evil deeds and temptations of Satan etc. Therefore, even though one should not generally recite loudly while someone else does so, they are allowed to do so with Surat al-Fatih ah as an exception.
