أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ يَجْهَرُ بِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 911
It was narrated that Anas said: “I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them, and I did not hear any of them say out loud: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (Sahih)
