Abdur Rahman, Mahdi's son instructed those in his company to be silent, whenever a prophetic quotation was mentioned, and told them, "Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet .” The reason for this lies in his interpretation of the preceding verse. He said that people must be silent whenever a prophetic quotation is read, just as if they would if they were in the presence of the Prophet listening to him speaking.
