It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no prayer without recitation." And what he (peace and blessings be upon him) made us hear, we have made you hear, and what he kept hidden from us, we have kept hidden from you.
