Hadith of ‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit (RA)
حديث عبادة بن الصامت
Hadith 1012:85
Ya'qub narrated to us, my father narrated to us, from Ibn Ishaq, Makhul narrated to me, from Mahmud ibn al-Rabi' al-Ansari, from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) led us in the morning prayer, and the recitation became difficult for him. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) finished his prayer, he turned his face toward us and said: "I see you reciting behind your Imam when he recites aloud." We said: "Yes, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, this is so." He said: "Do not do so, except for the Mother of the Qur'an (Al-Fatiha), for there is no prayer for the one who does not recite it."
حدثنا يعقوب، حدثنا أبي ، عن ابن إسحاق، حدثني مكحول، عن محمود بن ربيع الأنصاري، عن عبادة بن الصامت قال: صلى بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الصبح، فثقلت عليه القراءة، فلما انصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من صلاته أقبل علينا بوجهه فقال: " إني لأراكم تقرءون خلف إمامكم إذا جهر ". قال: قلنا أجل. والله يا رسول الله هذا. قال: " فلا تفعلوا إلا بأم القرآن؛ فإنه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بها "
