One night he prayed 'Isha with the Prophet ﷺ, then went to his people and led them, beginning with Surah al-Baqarah. A man stepped away and prayed alone. They said to him: 'You have become a hypocrite.' He went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him. the Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Mu'adh, are you one who causes trial? Recite such and such surahs.'
