malik:1-18Yaḥyá > Mālik > Balaghah

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Hurayra used to say, "Whoever catches the ruku has caught the sajda and whoever misses the recitation of the umm al-Qur'an has missed much good."  

مالك:١-١٨وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

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

[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.'"
