We were behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the dawn prayer, and he recited (the passage), but the recitation became difficult for him. Then when he finished, he said: Perhaps you recite behind your imam? We replied: Yes, it is so, Messenger of Allah. He said: Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitab, for he who does not recite it is not credited with having prayed.  

كُنَّا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفَ إِمَامِكُمْ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ تَفْعَلُوا إِلاَّ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا  

"Messenger of Allah prayed the Subh prayer, and he had difficulty with the recitation. When turned (after finishing) he said: 'I think that you are reciting behind your Imam?'" He said: "We said: 'Yes, Messenger of Allah, by Allah!' He said: 'Do not do that, except for Umm Al-Kitab, for there is no Salat for one who does not recite it.'"  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ وَرَاءَ إِمَامِكُمْ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِي وَاللَّهِ قَالَ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا إِلاَّ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us and recited, and the recitation became difficult for him. When he finished, he said, "Do you recite?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do not recite except with the Opening of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha), for there is no prayer without it."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ تَقْرَءُونَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا بِهَا  

"Messenger of Allah prayed the Subh prayer, and he had difficulty with the recitation. When turned (after finishing) he said: 'I think that you are reciting behind your Imam?'" He said: "We said: 'Yes, Messenger of Allah, by Allah!' He said: 'Do not do that, except for Umm Al-Kitab, for there is no Salat for one who does not recite it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 311)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ وَرَاءَ إِمَامِكُمْ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ هَذَا قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us, and recitation became difficult for him. When he finished, he asked, "Did you recite?" We replied, "Yes, Messenger of Allah." He said, "It is not necessary for you to recite except for the Opening Chapter of the Book (Al-Fatiha), as there is no prayer without it."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ تَقْرَءُونَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا بِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us in the morning and the recitation became difficult for him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned towards us and said, "I see you reciting behind your imam when he raises his voice." We said, "Yes, indeed, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do not do so, except when you recite with Umm al-Qur'an (Surah Al-Fatiha), for there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفَ إِمَامِكُمْ إِذَا جَهَرَ قَالَ قُلْنَا أَجَلْ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you recite behind me?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then do not do so except with the Mother of the Book."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفِي؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ  

"Messenger of Allah prayed the Subh prayer, and he had difficulty with the recitation. When turned (after finishing) he said: 'I think that you are reciting behind your Imam?'" He said: "We said: 'Yes, Messenger of Allah, by Allah!' He said: 'Do not do that, except for Umm Al-Kitab, for there is no Salat for one who does not recite it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 311)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ وَرَاءَ إِمَامِكُمْ» قَالَ قُلْنَا أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا»

(Using translation from Tirmidhī 311)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ وَرَاءَ إِمَامِكُمْ» قَالَ قُلْنَا أَجَلْ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذًّا قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا»  

[Machine] And he said, "I see you praying behind your imam when he recites aloud?" We said, "Yes, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do not do so except with the Ummul Quran, for verily there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it." Ali ibn Umar said, "This is a good chain of narration."  

وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفَ إِمَامِكُمْ إِذَا جَهَرَ؟ قُلْنَا أَجَلْ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ  

"عَنْ عبادة بن الصَّامت قال: صَلَّى بنا رَسُول الله ﷺ الفجر، فثقلت عليه القراءة، فلما انصرف قال: إنى أراكم تقرءون وراء إمامكم، قلنا: أجل! والله يا رسول الله هذا، قال: فلا تفعلوا إلَّا فاتحة الكتاب، فإنَّه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بها".
