حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفُضَيْلِ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ السَّعْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُورَةٍ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا " .
´It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is no prayer for the one who does not recite in every Rak’ah: Al-Hamd (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah whether in an obligatory prayer or another.’”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that reciting another surah along with Surah al-Fatihah is also necessary.
However, this narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
Therefore, reciting only Surah al-Fatihah is obligatory (wajib).
And reciting another surah is recommended (mustahabb).
It is not obligatory (fard). (Injaz al-Hajah)
