أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَفِي كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَجَبَتْ هَذِهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ وَكُنْتُ أَقْرَبَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَى الإِمَامَ إِذَا أَمَّ الْقَوْمَ إِلاَّ قَدْ كَفَاهُمْ

He heard Abu Ad-Darda say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: 'Is there recitation in every prayer?' He said: 'Yes.' A man among the Ansar said: 'Is that obligatory?' He (Abu Ad-Darda) turned to me (Kathir), as I was closest of the people to him, and said: 'I think that if the Imam leads the people, that is sufficient for them.'"
