Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ وَلِصَاحِبٍ لَهُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَذِّنَا وَأَقِيمَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَأَقِيمَا ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ فَأَيْنَ الْقِرَاءَةُ قَالَ إِنَّهُمَا كَانَا مُتَقَارِبَيْنِ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him and to a companion of his: 'When the time for prayer comes, give the adhan and the iqamah, then let the eldest of you lead the prayer.' Khalid said: 'I said to Abu Qilabah: What about the recitation? He said: They were similar in their level of recitation.'
