حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ سُئِلَ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْإِمَامِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ
عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ الصَّلَوَاتِ يُقْرَأُ فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ وَمَا أَخْفَى عَلَيْنَا أَخْفَيْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us — he was asked about the imam's recitation in prayer — he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu Muhammad, from 'Ata ibn Abi Rabah, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'In every prayer there is recitation. What the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made us hear, we make you hear, and what he was silent about, we are silent about. If you add nothing beyond the Mother of the Book (al-Fatihah), it suffices, and if you add more, it is better.'
