Musnad Ahmad 2238

Translation

✧ They asked him, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite in the Dhuhr and Asr prayers?" He said, "No." They said, "Maybe he used to recite inwardly?" He said, "That is evil. Surely the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a servant obeying orders, conveying what he was sent with. And he did not differentiate between us and others except in three matters: he ordered us to perform ablution thoroughly, not to eat charity, and not to saddle a donkey on a horse."
