his companions when leading them in prayer, and would conclude with 'Say: He is
Allah, (the) One.' When they returned, they told the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

Concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: "And offer your salah

of Allah (ﷺ) was still (preaching) in secret in Makkah. When he led his
companions in prayer, he would raise his voice" -(One of the narrators) Ibn
Mani' said: He would recite the Quran out loud"- "And when the idolators heard
his voice they would insult the Quran, and the One Who revealed it, and the one
who brought it. So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to His Prophet (ﷺ): And
offer your salah (prayer) neither aloud that is, such that the idolators can
hear your recitation and insult the Quran; nor in a low voice, so that your
companions cannot hear; but follow a way between."
