حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حُصَيْنِ بْنُ يَحْيَی الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ لَمْ يَذْکُرْ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَکْرٍ ارْفَعْ مِنْ صَوْتِکَ شَيْئًا وَلِعُمَرَ اخْفِضْ شَيْئًا زَادَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُکَ يَا بِلَالُ وَأَنْتَ تَقْرَأُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ وَمِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ قَالَ کَلَامٌ طَيِّبٌ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی بَعْضَهُ إِلَی بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلُّکُمْ قَدْ أَصَابَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1330
This tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. This version dies not mention that the Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Bakr: Raise your voice a litte ; or he said to Umar: Lower your voice a little. But this version adds: (The Prophet said: ) I heard you, Bilal, (reciting) ; you were reciting partly from this surah and partly from that surah. He said: This is all good speech ; Allah has combined one part with the other; The Prophet ﷺ said: All of you were correct.
