وَ اِذَا لَمْ تَاْتِهِمْ بِاٰیَةٍ قَالُوْا لَوْ لَا اجْتَبَیْتَهَاؕ-قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَتَّبِـعُ مَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّ مِنْ رَّبِّیْۚ-هٰذَا بَصَآىٕرُ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(203) وَ اِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَ اَنْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ(204)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And (O Beloved Prophet!) When you do not bring forth a sign to them, they say, “Why did you not make it yourself?” Say, “I only follow the revelation which is sent to me from my Lord.” These are clear proofs from your Lord, and guidance and mercy for Muslims. And when the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and remain silent ˹so˺ that you may be endowed with mercy.[1]

Commentary

[1]

When the Quran is recited, the ruling for the listeners is that they remain silent especially during the prayer, e.g., when the Imam recites al-Fātihah or another chapter, it is necessary to listen silently. Reciting the Quran after the Imam is not permitted.
