A man replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He said: I am wondering what is the matter with me that I have been contended with reciting the Quran. He said: When the people heard that from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم they ceased reciting (the Quran) along with him at the prayers in which he recited aloud.
