[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
