Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3795 — Those who permitted reciting behind
٣٧٩٥ - حدثنا ابن نمير قال: (حدثنا) (١) (محمد) (٢) بن إسحاق عن مكحول عن محمود بن الربيع عن عبادة بن الصامت قال: صلى بنا رسول اللَّه ﷺ صلاة ⦗٣٢٦⦘ العشاء فثقلت عليه القراءة، فلما انصرف قال: "لَعَلَّكُمْ تَقْرَأونَ خَلْفَ إِمَامِكُمْ"، قال: قلنا: أجل يا رسول اللَّه إنا لنفعل. قال: "فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بأُمّ الْقُرآنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا بِهَا" (٣).
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Isha prayer, and the recitation felt heavy to him during the prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said: "Perhaps you were reciting behind your imam?" We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we were doing so. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite nothing behind the imam except Surah al-Fatihah, for there is no prayer without it."
