حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ
سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ وَالإِمَامُ يَقْرَأُ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَفِي كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَجَبَ هَذَا

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
هذا خطأ عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وإنما هو من قول أبي الدرداء والذي رأيت وذكره من حديث زيد بن حباب ثنا معاوية بن صالح عن أبي الزاهرية عن كثير بن مرة
machine translationThis is an error as a report from the Messenger of God ﷺ; rather it is the saying of Abū al-Dardāʾ. And what I saw, and he mentioned it, is from the hadith of Zayd b. al-Ḥubāb: Muʿāwiyah b. Ṣāliḥ narrated to us, from Abū al-Zāhiriyyah, from Kathīr b. Murrah.

هذا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خطأ إنما هو قول أبي الدرداء

قوله يوهم في الحديث علة لا يقبله معها أحد وليس كذلك بل هو موضع نظر فإنه حديث رواه النسائي من طريق زيد بن حباب عن معاوية
machine translationHis statement suggests that the hadith has a defect (ʿillah) because of which no one accepts it, but that is not the case; rather it is a matter open to examination, for it is a hadith that al-Nasāʾī narrated through Zayd b. al-Ḥubāb, from Muʿāwiyah.
