This has been driving me crazy, everyone knows when the Imam is reciting we must be silent. But I find people next to me in prayer, very ignorant of that. So I want to clear up in my mind what is the right and wrong way.
I use Albany rihma Allah, Prophet prayer described to do my best to pray as the prophet(PBUH) taught. This is from his work:
http://abdurrahman.org/salah/prophetsprayer.html
Now after reading this, I took it to state that between the pause of recitation of surah Fatihah and next Ayat, that the suhaba ra, would recite to themselves the fatihah quietly in the pause time only.
Am I understanding this correctly or should the last paragraph(in red) be enough?
Is it justified (as a must) by any of the madhabs?

The Abrogation Of Recitation Behind The Imaam In The Loud Prayer
He had given permission for those being led by the Imaam to recite Soorah al-Faatihah in the loud prayers, when once:
"he was praying Fajr and the recitation became difficult for him. When he finished, he said:
«Perhaps you recite behind your imaam.» We said: "Yes, quickly [139], O Messenger of Allaah." He said:
«Do not do so, except for [each of you reciting] the opening chapter of the Book, for the prayer is not valid of the one who does not recite it.»[140]
Later, he forbade them from reciting in the loud prayers at all, when:
"He finished a prayer in which he was reciting loudly (in one narration: it was the dawn prayer) and said:
«Were any of you reciting with me just now?!» A man said: "Yes, I was, O Messenger of Allaah". He said:
«I say, why am I contended with?» [Abu Hurayrah said:] So the people stopped reciting with the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) when he was reciting loudly after hearing that from him [but they recited to themselves quietly when the imaam was not reciting loudly]." [141]
He also made silence during the imaam's recitation part of the completeness of following the imaam, saying:
«The imaam is there to be followed, so when he says takbeer, say takbeer, and when he recites, be silent [142], just as he made listening to the imaam's recitation enough to not have to recite behind him, saying: He who has an imaam, then the recitation of the imaam is recitation for him»[143] - this applying in the loud prayers.
Now after reading this, I took it to state that between the pause of recitation of surah Fatihah and next Ayat, that the suhaba ra, would recite to themselves the fatihah quietly in the pause time only.
Am I understanding this correctly or should the last paragraph(in red) be enough?
