مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ " هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ، وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَلَّامٍ وَغَيْرُهُ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَذَاكَ مِمَّا لَا يَحِلُّ رِوَايَتُهُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الِاحْتِجَاجِ بِهِ، وَقَدْ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ⦗٢٢٩⦘ مَذْهَبُ جَابِرٍ فِي ذَلِكَ تَرْكَ الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِيمَا يَجْهَرُ فِيهِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ دُونَ مَا لَا يَجْهَرُ، فَقَدْ رَوَى يَزِيدٌ الْفَقِيرُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: " كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ، وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَكَذَلِكَ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَذْهَبَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ.
(a) Wahb bin Kaysan said that he heard Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: Whoever prays even one rak'ah in which he does not recite Surah al-Fatihah, such a prayer is valid only behind the imam, and not otherwise.
(b) It may also be that Jabir's (may Allah be pleased with him) position on this matter was not to recite (behind the imam) in the prayers recited aloud, as opposed to the silent prayers. Yazid al-Faqir narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): We used to recite behind the imam in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr Surah al-Fatihah and another surah, and in the last two rak'ahs only Surah al-Fatihah. Likewise, this seems to be the position of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).
This is the authentic report from Jabir as his own statement, not marfu' (attributed to the Prophet). Yahya bin Sallam and other weak narrators raised it to the Prophet from Malik, and that is something which it is not permissible to narrate as a proof.
