أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ فَقَرَأَ رَجُلٌ بِـ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى } فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ " مَنْ قَرَأَ بِـ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى } " . قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا . قَالَ " قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ خَالَجَنِيهَا " .
'Imran bin Husain Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr, and a man recited 'Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.' When he finished praying, he said: 'Who recited: 'Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High?' A man said: 'I did.' He said: 'I knew that someone was competing with me in it.'

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 1744
This Hadith focuses on “recitation during Zuhr prayer.” The narration says that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) prayed Zuhr, and a man recited “Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.” After the prayer, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked who had recited it. A man replied that he had. The Prophet then said that he knew someone was competing with him in it. The text gives a clear scene from prayer and shows that the Prophet noticed the recitation. The Hadith does not give a long legal discussion, so the explanation should remain simple: it records a specific moment involving recitation in prayer and the Prophet’s response after finishing.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) noticed recitation during the Zuhr prayer.
- A companion honestly answered when asked who recited.
- The Hadith records the Prophet’s response without adding extra rulings.
