The Shaykh : How? No, it is not necessary that he recited them aloud, because it is possible that the Messenger informed him of it. So it is not necessary. If he said, "I heard him reciting," that is correct. If we assume that the wording of the hadith is "I heard him reciting," if we assume this, there is still no contradiction.
