[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no prayer for the one who does not recite the opening chapter of the Book (Al-Fatiha)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no prayer for the one who does not recite Al-Fatiha (the opening chapter of the Quran) in it, and likewise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Every prayer in which Surah Al-Fatiha is not recited is incomplete, it is incomplete, it is incomplete." So, Abu Hurairah said, "O Persian, recite it within yourself, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Allah says, 'I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant in halves, and My servant shall have what he asks for. When the servant says, 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds,' Allah says, 'My servant has praised Me.' When he says, 'The Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,' Allah says, 'My servant has glorified Me.' When he says, 'Master of the Day of Judgment,' Allah says, 'My servant has exalted Me.' When he says, 'You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help,' Allah says, 'This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for.' When he says, 'Guide us to the Straight Path, the path of those who have received Your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath upon themselves, nor of those who have gone astray,' Allah says, 'This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for.'" Sufyan said, "I entered the house of Al-Ala' bin Abdul Rahman while he was sick, and I asked him about this hadith."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ 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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever prays a prayer and does not recite in it the mother of the Qur'an, then it is incomplete." He repeated this three times. Then I said, "O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam." He winked at me and said, "Recite it to yourself, O Persian, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah says, I have divided the prayer between Me and My servant into two halves. Half of it is for Me and half of it is for My servant. And for My servant is what he asks for.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Recite: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds' [Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 2]. Allah says, 'My servant has praised Me.' And recite: 'The Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate' [Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 1]. Allah says, 'My servant has glorified Me.' And recite: 'Master of the Day of Judgment.' Allah says, 'My servant has exalted Me.' And recite: 'You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help' [Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 5]. This verse is between Me and My servant, and for My servant is what he asks for. And recite: 'Guide us on the Straight Path, the path of those who have received Your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath upon themselves, nor of those who have gone astray' [Surah Al-Fatihah, verse 7]. This is for My servant, and for My servant is what he asks for." This is the wording of the Hadith of Qutaybah. And in the Hadith of Al-Qa'nabiyy, the servant says, 'Master of the Day of Judgment.' Allah says, 'My servant has exalted Me.' And this verse is between Me and My servant, and the rest is like it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ قَالَ وَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي أَحْيَانًا أَكُونُ وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ فَغَمَزَ ذِرَاعِيَّ وَقَالَ اقْرَأْ بِهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ يَا فَارِسِيُّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ فَنِصْفُهَا لِي وَنِصْفُهَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْرَءُوا يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] يَقُولُ اللهُ حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي وَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] يَقُولُ اللهُ أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} يَقُولُ اللهُ مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} [الفاتحة 5] فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة 7] فَهَؤُلَاءِ لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ قُتَيْبَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَالْبَاقِي بِنَحْوِهِ  

[Machine] I heard from my father and from Abu Sa'ib both of them were associates of Abu Hurairah. He said, and Abu Hurairah said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever performs a prayer in which he does not recite the Opening Chapter of the Book (Al-Fatiha), then his prayer is incomplete, it is incomplete." This is the end of the hadith narrated by Abu Abdullah. Abu Nasr Al-Fami mentioned the remaining part of the hadith in a similar manner as narrated by Al-Qa'nabi from Malik. Muslim also narrated it in the Sahih from Ahmad bin Ja'far Al-Muqri, from Al-Nadr bin Muhammad, from Abu Uwais, and Abdullah bin Ziyad bin Samaan, from Al-Ala' bin Abdul Rahman, from his father, from Abu Hurairah. He added the naming in it.  

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَبِي وَمِنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ جَمِيعًا وَكَانَا جَلِيسَيْنِ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ انْتَهَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَذَكَرَ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْفَامِيُّ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ رِوَايَةِ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُقْرِئِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَزَادَ فِيهِ التَّسْمِيَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, glorified and exalted be He, said: "I have divided this Surah between Me and My servant into two halves. When My servant says, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' I say, 'My servant has mentioned My name.' When My servant says, 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds,' I say, 'My servant has praised Me.' When My servant says, 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' I say, 'My servant has glorified Me.' When My servant says, 'Master of the Day of Judgment,' I say, 'My servant has glorified Me.' When My servant says, 'You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help,' I say, 'This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَسَمْتُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ فَإِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَقُولُ اللهُ ذَكَرَنِي عَبْدِي فَإِذَا قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَقُولُ اللهُ حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي فَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَقُولُ اللهُ أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي فَإِذَا قَالَ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ يَقُولُ اللهُ مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي وَإِذَا قَالَ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ قَالَ هَذَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ  

[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: "Whoever performs a prayer without reciting in it the mother of the book (Al-Fatiha), then it is incomplete." He mentioned a Hadith similar to the narration of Ibn 'Uyaynah at the beginning, then he added the title and said at the end of the Hadith: "This verse is between me and my servant, divided into two halves, and the end of the Surah is for my servant, and for my servant is what he asks for." Ali ibn Umar al-Hafiz, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Ibn Sama'an, Abdullah ibn Ziyad ibn Sama'an, is a weak narrator of Hadith." And this Hadith has been narrated by a group of trustworthy narrators from Al-Ala' bin Abdur Rahman, including Malik bin Anas, Ibn Juraij, Ru'h bin Al-Qasim, Ibn Uyaynah, Ibn 'Ajlan, Al-Hasan bin Al-Hur, Abu Uwais, and others, on differences in the chain of narrators and agreement on the text. None of them mentioned in his narration: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" and they agreed on contrary to what- [Translation completed by the AI.]  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ ثُمَّ زَادَ التَّسْمِيَةَ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَانِ وَآخِرُ السُّورَةِ لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ ابْنُ سَمْعَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ وَرَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْهُمْ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَرَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَابْنُ عَجْلَانَ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُرِّ وَأَبُو أُوَيْسٍ وَغَيْرُهُمْ عَلَى اخْتِلَافٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ وَاتِّفَاقٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الْمَتْنِ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ فِي حَدِيثِهِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاتِّفَاقُهُمْ عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا  

Recitation (of Surat al-Fatiha) in every (rak'ah) of prayer in essential. (The recitation) that we listened to from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we made you listen to it. And that which he recited inwardly to us, we recited it inwardly for you. And he who recites Umm al-Qur'an, it is enough for him (to complete the prayer), and he who adds to it (recites some other verses of the Holy Qur'an along with Surat al-Fatiha), it is preferable for him. (Using translation from Muslim 396c)   

قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ وَمَا أُخْفَى مِنَّا أَخْفَيْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ وَمَنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ  

[Machine] Ali bin Umar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This is a good chain of narration, and it contains evidence for those who claim that the meaning of his statement {so recite what is easy from it} is only after reciting the opening chapter of the book." And Allah knows best.  

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
