(110) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ بِقِرَاءَةِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ جَائِزَةٌ دُونَ غَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَأَنَّ مَا زَادَ عَلَى فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَضِيلَةٌ لَا فَرِيضَةٌ،Chapter 110: Evidence that prayer is valid with only Al-Fatihah, and that reciting more is virtuous, not obligatory
Hadith Q513
فِي خَبَرِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ: " لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ " دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ بِهَا لَهُ صَلَاةٌ. وَفِي خَبَرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ " دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاتُهُ خِدَاجًا.
In the hadith of Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), it is stated: "The prayer of that person is not valid who does not recite Surah Al-Fatihah." This is evidence that whoever recites Surah Al-Fatihah, his prayer becomes valid. In the hadith of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), it is stated: "Whoever offered any prayer and did not recite Umm al-Qur'an in it, then that prayer is incomplete and imperfect." This is evidence that whoever recites Surah Al-Fatihah in prayer, his prayer is not incomplete (rather, it is complete).
