Imam [even though it is done inwardly] is sufficient for the
followers. Imam Abu Hanifa draws his argument from a
Hadith recorded in Abu Dawud, Nasa'i, ibn Maja, in which
the Messenger of Allah jg said, "The Imam is conferred upon
[this privilege] that his followers should follow him. So when
the Imam recites the takbir, you must also recite, and when
he recites [the Qur'an], you should listen to him." This
Hadith is an elucidation of the Holy Qur'an 7:204, "And
when the Qur'an is recited, listen to it and remain silent [so]
that mercy may be shown to you."
One can easily find in these arguments the true nature of
the differences of opinion amongst the Jurists. They all draw
their arguments from the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah, thus
their differences are of interpretation and understanding.
They are, in fact, differences of preference rather than of
disbelief. The above mentioned opinions are all considered
valid since their base is one and the same.
