أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ (ح) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " كُلُّ صَلَاةٍ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، ثُمَّ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ، ثُمَّ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ " فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ أَحْيَانًا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ: يَا فَارِسِيُّ اقْرَأْ بِهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ اللهُ: حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي، وَإِذَا قَالَ: الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ: أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي، وَإِذَا قَالَ: مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ قَالَ: مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي، أَوْ قَالَ: فَوَّضَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي، وَإِذَا قَالَ: إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ قَالَ: هَذَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ: اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ، فَهَذَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ " قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقَالَ: مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ. هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَتَابَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْنَادِهِ شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ وَرَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، وَجَهْضَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَرَوَوْهُ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَخَالَفَهُمْ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ فَرَوَاهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The prayer in which Surah al-Fatihah is not recited is deficient," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. The narrator said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Hurayrah, sometimes I am behind the imam (so what should I do then?). Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Persian, recite it within yourself, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that Allah Almighty said: "I have divided the prayer (al-Fatihah) between Myself and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks of Me. When the servant says: 'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has praised Me. When the servant says: 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has extolled Me. When the servant says: 'Master of the Day of Recompense,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has glorified Me, or He said: My servant has entrusted himself to Me. When the servant says: 'You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help,' Allah Almighty says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks. When the servant says: 'Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have blessed, not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who go astray,' Allah Almighty says: This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked." All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Recompense. You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have blessed, not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who go astray [Surah al-Fatihah: 2-7].
Sufyan said: I went to al-Ala' bin Abd al-Rahman at his house while he was ill, and I asked him, and he narrated this hadith to me.

كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ ⦗٥٨⦘ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ مَوْلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ ".
Abu al-Sa'ib, the freed slave of Hisham bin Zuhrah, narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever does not recite Surah al-Fatihah in the prayer, that prayer is deficient and incomplete," and he said this three times. Abu al-Sa'ib said: I asked: O Abu Hurayrah, sometimes I am praying behind an imam? Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of my arm and said: O Persian, recite it within yourself, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that Allah Almighty says: "I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant; half of it is for Me and half of it is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks."
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite it. When the servant says: 'All praise is for Allah, the Lord who sustains all the worlds,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has praised Me. When the servant says: 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has extolled Me. When the servant says: 'Master of the Day of Recompense,' Allah Almighty says: My servant has glorified Me. When the servant says: 'You alone we worship and from You alone we seek help,' Allah Almighty says: This verse is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked. And the servant says: 'Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favour, not of those upon whom anger has fallen, nor of those who are astray,' and Allah Almighty says: This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked."
(b) The wording of the above hadith is that of Qutaybah, and in the hadith of al-Qa'nabi it is that when the servant says: 'Master of the Day of Judgement,' Allah Almighty says: "My servant has glorified and exalted Me, and this is between Me and My servant." The rest of the hadith is the same.

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: "Whoever offers a prayer and does not recite Surah al-Fatihah in it, it is deficient and incomplete."

Then when the servant says: 'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds' [Surah al-Fatihah: 2], Allah Almighty says: My servant has praised Me. When the servant says: 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' [Surah al-Fatihah: 3], Allah Almighty says: My servant has extolled Me.

(a) 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: "Whoever does not recite Surah al-Fatihah in the prayer, that prayer is incomplete and deficient."
(b) He mentioned at its beginning something like the hadith of Ibn Uyaynah, but he added 'Bismillah', and at the end of the hadith he mentioned: "This is between Me and My servant in two halves, and the last part of this surah is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked."
(c) A group of reliable narrators transmitted this hadith from al-Ala' bin Abd al-Rahman, among them Malik bin Anas, Ibn Jurayj, Rawh bin al-Qasim, Ibn Uyaynah, Ibn Ajlan, al-Hasan bin al-Hurr, Abu Uways and many others besides them. There is disagreement in their chains, but they agree on the text. None of them mentioned 'Bismillahi al-Rahmani al-Rahim' in his hadith, and their agreement, contrary to what Ibn Sam'an narrated, is closer to what is correct. And Allah knows best.

It is narrated from Ata that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There is recitation in every prayer. In the prayer in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made us hear (that is, he recited aloud), we too made you hear, and in the prayer in which he concealed it from us (that is, he recited quietly), we too concealed it from you. Whoever recites Surah al-Fatihah, it will suffice for him, and whoever recites more, that is better.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ، ثنا هُرَيْمُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ: " صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَقَرَأَ فِي أَوَّلِ الرَّكْعَةِ بِالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَأَوَّلِ آيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرَةِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَقَرَأَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالْآيَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرَةِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ {فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ} " قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ، وَفِيهِ حُجَّةٌ لِمَنْ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ {فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ} إِنَّ ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بَعْدَ قِرَاءَةِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
(a) It is narrated from Qays bin Abi Hazim that he said: I prayed behind Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) in Basrah. In the first rak'ah he recited Surah al-Fatihah and one verse of Surah al-Baqarah, then he bowed. Then he stood for the second rak'ah, and in it he recited Surah al-Fatihah and the second verse of Surah al-Baqarah, then he bowed. When he finished the prayer, he turned towards us and said: Allah Almighty says: "So recite whatever is easy of the Qur'an" [Surah al-Muzzammil: 20].
(b) Ali bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This chain is hasan (good), and in it is evidence for the one who says that the meaning of Allah's statement "So recite whatever is easy of the Qur'an" [Surah al-Muzzammil: 20] is that this applies only after the recitation of Surah al-Fatihah.
