Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) raise his voice in supplication during his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rarely used to supplicate... ? Is this... ?
The Shaykh : ... It is not mentioned in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his voice with it. The kind of raising of the voice that many people do in their well-known supplications, some of which are transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But at the same time, we cannot imagine that he used to keep it secret to the extent that others could not hear it. Otherwise, the question would arise: How did the narrator of the hadith—and in my opinion it is Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab—manage to capture this supplication and memorize it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then attribute it to him (peace and blessings be upon him)? The meaning of this, or the necessary implication of this, is that the Messenger (peace be upon him) raised his voice with this supplication—sometimes—for the sake of teaching, not for the sake of raising the voice in supplication. Because raising the voice in supplication, like raising the voice in dhikr, is contrary to the original ruling and contrary to what is better.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
