Which is stronger in hadith: the shaykh reading and the student listening, or the student reading and the shaykh listening?

The questioner : Shaykh, did not Malik definitively establish that he read the Muwatta to anyone? Rather, everyone read to him, until he would say, "O people of Iraq, why do you not leave your strictness? Reading is like listening."

The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah bless you, it has been written. It has been written and composed, and there is no harm in reading to him. But when one wants to narrate a specific hadith, one particular hadith, is it stronger for him to read, or for the teacher and the student to listen, or for the student to read and the shaykh to listen? We hold that the shaykh reading and the student listening is stronger, without doubt, because the student is the one concerned who wants to bear the burden. As for the evidence he mentioned.

The questioner : O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : I need a response.

The questioner : Fine, why don't you read to us? Yes.

The Shaykh : I explain what I narrate; I am not narrating to you. I am explaining to you. You are reading a book that has been narrated, that is all. I am the one composing, and I am explaining. There is a difference between the two. It is a problem. Yes, what? May Allah protect it.
