"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

[AI] 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

[AI] Abadah bin As-Samit stood by my side and recited alongside the imam while he was reciting. When he finished, I said, "O Abu Al-Walid, you recite and listen while he recites aloud?" He replied, "Yes, we used to recite with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a mistake. Then he praised Allah and said to us when he finished, 'Did anyone recite along with me?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am amazed by this person who argues with me in recitation. When the imam recites, do not recite except with the Ummul Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha), for there is no prayer for those who do not recite it.' This is a narration from Makhul from Mahmoud bin Ar-Rabi' who is esteemed. And if it is a narration from Ishaq bin Abi Farwah, I remembered it as a witness."

قَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ فَقَرَأَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ تَقْرَأُ وَتُسْمِعُ وَهُوَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّا قَرَأْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَغَلِطَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ فَقَالَ لَنَا حِينَ انْصَرَفَ «هَلْ قَرَأَ مَعِي أَحَدٌ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ قَدْ عَجِبْتُ قُلْتُ مِنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يُنَازِعُنِي الْقُرْآنَ إِذَا قَرَأَ الْإِمَامُ فَلَا تَقْرَءُوا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا « هَذَا مُتَابِعٌ لِمَكْحُولٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَهُوَ عَزِيزٌ» وَإِنْ كَانَ رِوَايَةُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ فَإِنِّي ذَكَرْتُهُ شَاهِدًا

"هَلْ قَرَأَ مَعِي أَحَدٌ؟ قَدْ عَجِبْتُ، قُلتُ: مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يُنازِعُنِي الْقُرآنَ؟ إِذَا قَرَأَ الإِمَامُ فَلا تَقْرَأُوا إِلا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، فَإِنَّهُ لا صَلاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأ بِهَا".

"عَنْ عُبَادَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ صَلَّى بِنَا فَجَهَرَ بِالقِرَاءَةِ فَلَبَسَتْ عَليْهِ القِراءَةُ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: هَلْ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلفَ الإِمَام إِذَا جَهَرَ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَهَذَا القُرَآنُ

هَذَا (*) قَالَ: عَجِبْتُ أُنَازعُ القُرَآنَ، وَقَالَ: لاَ تَقْرءوا إِذَا جَهَرَ الإِمَامُ إِلَّا بأم القرَآنِ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأ بأُمِّ القُرآنِ".
