[Machine] "He said, 'O my sons, recite in the silence of the Imam, as the prayer is not complete without the opening chapter of the Book.'"  

البيهقي:٢٩٥٤قَالَ وَثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ مِنْهَالٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ اقْرَءُوا فِي سَكْتَةِ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا تَتِمُّ صَلَاةٌ إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
