(Book 3, Hadith 30) #35231
Praying Confidentially

SUMMARY: When praying, one should talk to Allah in a confidential manner and not recite the Quran out loud.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al Harith at-Taymi from Abu Hazim at-Tammar from al Bayadi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised in the recitation. He said, "When you pray you are talking confidentially to your Lord. So look to what you confide to Him, and do not say the Qur'an out loud so that others hear it".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ التَّمَّارِ، عَنِ الْبَيَاضِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ

Talk confidentially with your Lord during prayer .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we pray to Allah we should do so in a confidential manner. We should not recite the Quran out loud so that others can hear it as this is not how one talks confidentially with their Lord. Instead of reciting loudly, we should focus on what we are saying and confiding to Him in our prayers. This hadith also reminds us of the importance of respecting other people's privacy when they are praying and not disturb them by making noise or talking while they are communicating with their Lord. It also encourages us to be mindful of our words when speaking to Allah as He is always listening and knows what is in our hearts even if it is unspoken.
