أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حِمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ أنبأ أَبُو عُمَرَ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ كَانُوا يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ الْقِرَاءَةَ بِ {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة 2]
English Translation
Ubadah ibn al-Samit narrated: "We were behind the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the Fajr prayer, and the recitation became difficult for him. When he finished, he said: 'Perhaps you recite behind your imam?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do not do so except with the Opening of the Book, for there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it.'"
