Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The recitation of the Imam is sufficient for you, whether he recites in a low voice or in a loud voice." The narrator named Abu Musa states: I asked Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal about this narration regarding the recitation transmitted from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, so he said: "This narration is munkar (denounced)."
