Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked:“Will recitation (of Qur’an) be done in every prayer?”He replied:“Yes!”Then a man from among the Ansar said:“So it has become obligatory.”(The narrator says) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed me, as I was sitting closest to him among those present, and said:“When the imam is leading the people in prayer, his recitation is sufficient for those people.”The narrator has transmitted it in this way, however, the narrator named Zaid made a mistake in it. (The correct version of the previous narration is this:) Sayyiduna Abu Darda stated:“I think that the imam’s recitation is sufficient for all those people.”
