Bayhaqi 2933 — Those who said one recites al-Fatihah behind the imam

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أنبأ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَعَنْ مَوْلًى لَهُمْ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَا: " يَقْرَأُ الْإِمَامُ وَمَنْ خَلْفَهُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ " وَسَمَاعُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثَابِتٌ وَكَانَ كَاتِبًا لَهُ، وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، وَحَمَّادٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ شَاهِدٌ لِمَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الْمَوْصُولِ، وَفِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى ضَعْفِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِخِلَافِهِ بِأَسَانِيدَ لَا يَسْوَى ذِكْرَهَا لِضَعْفِهَا. ⦗٢٤٠⦘ وَمِنْهُمْ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the imam and the one following him should recite Surah al-Fatihah and another surah in the first two rak'ahs, while in the last two rak'ahs they should recite only Surah al-Fatihah. Among them is Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him).
Ubaydullah bin Abi Rafi''s hearing from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is established; he was his scribe.
(b) It has been narrated to us through Hammad and al-Hakam that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to order the recitation of Surah al-Fatihah behind the imam.
This is mursal, a corroborating witness to the connected report mentioned before, and in all of this there is an indication of the weakness of what is narrated from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to the contrary, through chains not worth mentioning because of their weakness.
