موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب وقوت الصلاةBook: On the Explanation of Prayer Times
بَابُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلاَةِChapter on one who catches a rak‘ah of the prayer
Hadith 17
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الرَّكْعَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ السَّجْدَةَ ، وَمَنْ فَاتَهُ قِرَاءَةُ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ فَاتَهُ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ "
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, says that it reached him from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, who used to say: Whoever has caught the bowing (ruku‘) has caught the prostration (sajda), meaning he has caught the rak‘ah, and whoever did not get to recite Surah Al-Fatihah, much good has passed him by.
