من مسند أبي سعيد الخدري
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1077 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The key
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُضُوءُ ، وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ ، وَإِحْلَالُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ ، وَفِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَسْلِيمٌ ، وَلَا تَجُوزُ صَلَاةٌ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَشَيْءٍ مَعَهَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The key to prayer is ablution; its tahrim (that by which the sanctity of prayer begins) is saying the takbir, and its tahlil (that is, coming out of the prayer) is saying the salam. And after every two rak'ahs there is a salam. And no prayer is valid in which the Opening of the Book (al-Fatihah) and some further portion of the Qur'an with it are not recited."
