عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: "
كَانَ سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ، فَكَانَ يَسْكُتُ سَكْتَتَيْنِ إِذَا كَبَّرَ لِلصَّلَاةِ، وَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ " فَعَابَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فِي ذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّاسَ عَابُوا عَلَيَّ، فَنَسِيتُ وَحَفِظُوا، أَوْ حَفِظْتُ وَنَسُوا، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أُبَيٌّ: بَلْ حَفِظْتَ وَنَسُوا، فَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا فَرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَاقْرَأْ بِهَا أَنْتَ
Translation
✧ Samurah b. Jundub used to lead the people in prayer and he would pause twice: when he said the takbir for the prayer, and when he finished reciting the Opening of the Book. The people criticized him for that, so he wrote to Ubayy b. Ka'b about it, saying that the people had criticized him, and “I forgot and they remembered, or I remembered and they forgot.” Ubayy wrote back to him: “Rather, you remembered and they forgot.” Al-Hasan used to say: “When the imam finishes reciting the Opening of the Book, then you recite it yourself.”
