عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ أَسِيرًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا تُقْبَلُ صَلَاةٌ لَا يُقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ))
Abdullah bin Sawadah Qushayri says: A Bedouin man narrated to me from his father, who was a captive with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he heard Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: That prayer is not accepted in which the recitation of Umm al-Kitab (that is, Surah al-Fatihah) is not done.
