Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ تَرْكِ قِرَاءَةِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ لِلْمُصَلِّي فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَأْمُومًا كَانَ، أَوْ إِمَامًا، أَوْ مُنْفَرِدًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A prayer is not valid if Al-Fatiha is not recited in it." I said, "What if I am following the imam?" He took my hand and said, "Recite it within yourself."  

ابن حبّان:١٧٩٤أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الذُّهْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُجْزِئُ صَلَاةٌ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ؟ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ فِي نَفْسِكَ»

" عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : لا تُجْزِئُ صَلاةٌ لاَ يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ وَرَاءَ الإِمَامِ".
