حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنَّ أَبَا السَّائِبِ، مَوْلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، هِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ ". قَالَ أَبُو السَّائِبِ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: يا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ (٢) إِنِّي أَكُونُ أَحْيَانًا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ أَبُو السَّائِبِ: فَغَمَزَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ذِرَاعِي، فَقَالَ: " يَا فَارِسِيُّ، اقْرَأْهَا (٣) فِي نَفْسِكَ "، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ، فَنِصْفُهَا لِي، وَنِصْفُهَا لِعَبْدِي، وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ "، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ:، ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اقْرَءُوا، يَقُولُ: فَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} [الفاتحة: ٢] ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي، وَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ} [الفاتحة: ١] ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي، يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ} ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي، وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي، يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} [الفاتحة: ٥] ، قَالَ: آخِرُهَا (١) لِعَبْدِي، وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ عَبْدِي: {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة: ٧] ، يَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: هَذَا لِعَبْدِي، وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Any prayer in which Surah Al-Fatiha is not recited is incomplete, incomplete, incomplete." Abu Sa’ib said to Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Huraira, sometimes I am behind the Imam (in prayer)." He pinched my arm and said: "O Persian! Recite Surah Al-Fatiha in your heart, because I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Allah the Exalted has said: 'I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves (and My servant shall have what he asks for).’ When the servant says: 'All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds,' Allah the Exalted says: 'My servant has praised Me.' When the servant says: 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' Allah the Exalted says: 'My servant has extolled My greatness or glorified Me.' When the servant says: 'Master of the Day of Judgment,' Allah the Exalted says: 'My servant has entrusted himself to Me.' When the servant says: 'You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help,' Allah the Exalted says: 'This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks for.' Then when the servant recites from 'Guide us to the straight path' to the end, Allah the Exalted says: 'This is for My servant, and he shall have what he asked for.'"
