(Book 3, Hadith 44) #35245
Reciting Behind the Imam

SUMMARY: It is preferable to recite behind the Imam when he does not recite aloud.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Ruman that Nafi ibn Jubayr ibn Mutim used to recite behind the imam when he did not recite aloud . Malik said, "That is the most preferable to me of what I have heard about the matter".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ، أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، كَانَ يَقْرَأُ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ فِيمَا لاَ يَجْهَرُ فِيهِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ

This hadith speaks about reciting behind an imam during prayer. It is preferable to recite silently when the imam does not recite aloud. This means that if the imam recites loudly then it is also permissible for those praying behind him to do so as well. The hadith also teaches us that we should follow what has been prescribed by our scholars and religious leaders in matters of worship and practice. We should strive to be obedient and respectful of their teachings in order to gain Allah's pleasure and reward in this life and hereafter.
