[Machine] "Abu Huraira used to say: 'Whoever catches the rakah (unit of prayer) has caught the prostration (sujood), and whoever misses the recitation of the mother of the Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha), has missed a great deal of good.'"

البيهقي:٢٥٨٣ – قَالَ وَثنا مَالِكٌ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الرَّكْعَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ السَّجْدَةَ وَمَنْ فَاتَتْهُ قِرَاءَةُ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ فَاتَهُ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ
