بَابُ : ذِكْرِ الاِخْتِلاَفِ عَلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْجُمُعَةِChapter: Mentioning The Differing Reports From An-Nu'man Regarding Recitation During The Jumu'ah Prayer
Hadith 1424
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ , سَأَلَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ , مَاذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى إِثْرِ سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ ؟ قَالَ : " كَانَ يَقْرَأُ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ " .
´Ad-Dahhak bin Qais asked An-Nu'man bin Bashir:` "What did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) use to recite on Friday after Surat Al-Jumu'ah?" He said: "He used to recite: 'Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)?'" (Al-Ghashiyah 88)

Explanation & Benefits
Sayyid Badi ud-Din Shah Rashdi
Understanding (Tafaqquh):
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
«من صلى صلاة، لم يقرا فيها بام القرآن، فهي خداج، ثلاثا غير تمام، فقيل لابي هريرة : إنا نكون وراء الإمام، فقال : اقرا بها فى نفسك»
“Whoever performs a prayer in which he does not recite Surah al-Hamd, then it is incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, it is not complete!” Then it was said to Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu): “(What about) those who are behind the imam?” So Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) said: “He should recite Surah al-Fatihah quietly.”
↰ From this hadith as well, it is clearly established that prayer without Surah al-Hamd is «خداج» and is not complete, and «خداج» refers to an intrinsic deficiency, not a descriptive one. Accordingly:
◈ Allamah Jar Allah al-Zamakhshari writes in “Asas al-Balaghah”:
«ناقة خادج الوقت ولذها قبل الوقت» [اساس البلاعة]
And in “Aqrab al-Mawarid” it is stated:
«خدج صلواته نقض بعض اركانها» [اقرب الموارد]
And this noble hadith is also general for every person who prays, because in it as well the word «من» occurs, which is among the words of generality.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Surah Al-Fatihah is the essence and summary of the entire Noble Qur’an; rather, it is its origin and foundation. On this basis, it has been prescribed in every unit (rak‘ah) of the prayer (salah), and it has been referred to by the name of salah (prayer) itself. Without it, the prayer is incomplete and deficient, and it is like a child who is born before its due time. It is said: (khadajat al-dabbatu khadaja) — the animal delivered an incomplete offspring. Most of the leading lexicographers have defined "khadaj" as deficiency.
