Chapter 5 · The Book of Prayersحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَوْفَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ خَلْفَهُ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: «أَيُّكُمْ قَرَأَ» - أَوْ أَيُّكُمُ الْقَارِئُ - فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ خَالَجَنِيهَا».

The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ﷺ) 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 ﷺ) observed: I thought as if someone amongst you was disputing with me (in what I was reciting).
