Chapter 7 · Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Themالْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنَّ أَبَا السَّائِبِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ أَحْيَانًا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ، فَغَمَزَ ذِرَاعِي وَقَالَ: يَا فَارِسِيُّ، اقْرَأْ بِهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ .

Reciting behind the Imam
He heard Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs a prayer in which he does not recite Ummul Qur’an (the Mother of the Qur’an, i.e., Al- Fatihah), it is deficient; not complete.’” I said: ‘O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam. He pressed my forearm and said: ‘O Persian! Recite it to yourself.’”
