حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ عَنْ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلَائِ عَنْ مَکْحُولٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالُوا فَکَانَ مَکْحُولٌ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَائِ وَالصُّبْحِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ فِي کُلِّ رَکْعَةٍ سِرًّا قَالَ مَکْحُولٌ اقْرَأْ بِهَا فِيمَا جَهَرَ بِهِ الْإِمَامُ إِذَا قَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْکِتَابِ وَسَکَتَ سِرًّا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْکُتْ اقْرَأْ بِهَا قَبْلَهُ وَمَعَهُ وَبَعْدَهُ لَا تَتْرُکْهَا عَلَی کُلِّ حَالٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 825
The above mentioned tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Ubadah bin al-Samit like the version of al-Rabib Sulaiman. This version adds: Makhul used to recite Surah al Fatihah al-kitab quietly in the prayer in which the imam recites the Quran loudly when he observes the period of silence. If he does not observe the period of silence, recite it before him (i. e before his recitation), or along with him or after him; do not give it up in any case.
