And when you recite the Qur’ān We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a hidden barrier that is one that hides you from them so that they cannot see you — this was revealed regarding those who wanted to assassinate him s the Prophet.

Recite the Qur'an as long as your hearts agree to do so, and when you feel variance between them (between your hearts and tongues), then get up (and leave its recital for the time being).

Sahih Muslim #6613Jundub (i. e. Ibn 'Abdullah) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Sahih

Recite the Qur'an as long as your hearts agree to do so and when you find variance between them, then stand up.

Sunan Abu Dawud #797Abu Hurairah said:Sahih

In every prayer there is a recitation. We make you listen what the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) made us listen, and we keep hidden from you what he kept hidden from us.

Sunan an-Nasa'i #972It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:Sahih

"In every prayer there is recitation. What the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made us hear (by reciting out loud) we make you hear, and what he hid from us (by reciting silently) we hide from you."

Sahih al-Bukhari #754Narrated Abu Huraira:Sahih

The Qur'an is recited in every prayer and in those prayers in which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited aloud for us, we recite aloud in the same prayers for you; and the prayers in which the Prophet (ﷺ) recited quietly, we recite quietly. If you recite "Al-Fatiha" only it is sufficient but if you recite something else in addition, it is better.
