[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited in the prayer [Surah Al-Fatiha]: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." (1) He considered it as one verse. Then he recited: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." (2) He considered it as two verses. Then he recited: "The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." (1) He considered it as three verses. Then he recited: "Master of the Day of Judgment." He considered it as four verses. And he said: "This is how we worship You and seek help from You." (5) He showed the five fingers of his hand. "Umar ibn Harun said, 'This is a foundation in the Sunnah, and I have not seen anyone else mention it as a witness.' They unanimously agreed on its weakness, meaning Umar ibn Harun's statement. And Al-Nasai said, 'It is considered abandoned.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ {بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] فَعَدَّهَا آيَةً {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2] آيَتَيْنِ {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة 1] ثَلَاثُ آيَاتٍ {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} [الفاتحة 5] وَجَمَعَ خَمْسَ أَصَابِعِهِ «عُمَرُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَصْلٌ فِي السُّنَّةِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجْتُهُ شَاهِدًا» أجمعوا على ضعفه يعني عمر بن هارون وقال النسائي متروك
