Question:
May Allah be with you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks regarding the saying of Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He:
do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophetلَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ
[Al-Hujurat 49:2]
Does this indicate that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raises his voice, the person he is addressing should raise his voice so that it is not higher than the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, he does not raise his voice to match the voice of the Messenger, but rather it should be lower than it,
who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allahيَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Hujurat 49:3]
, so he lowers his voice below the voice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
