حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

قَالَ كُنَّا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: «لَعَلَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ خَلْفَ إِمَامِكُمْ». قُلْنَا نَعَمْ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «لَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلاَّ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا»

We were behind the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the dawn prayer, and he recited (the passage), but the recitation became difficult for him. Then when he finished, he said: Perhaps you recite behind your imam? We replied: Yes, it is so, Messenger of Allah. He said: Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitab, for he who does not recite it is not credited with having prayed.

‘উবাদাহ ইবনুস সামিত (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা আমরা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর পিছনে ফজরের সালাত আদায় করছিলাম। সালাতে রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কিরাত পড়াকালে কিরাত তাঁর জন্য ভারী হয়ে গেল।

সালাত শেষে তিনি সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, সম্ভবতঃ তোমরা তোমাদের ইমামের কিরাত করেছ। আমরা বললাম, হে আল্লাহ রসূল! হ্যাঁ। তখন তিনি সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, এমনটি কর না, তবে তোমাদের সূরাহ ফাতিহা পড়াটা স্বতন্ত্র। কেননা যে ব্যক্তি সূরাহ ফাতিহা পাঠ করে না, তার সালাত হয় না।[1] দুর্বল।

عبادہ بن صامت رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نماز فجر میں ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پیچھے تھے، آپ نے قرآت شروع کی تو وہ آپ پر دشوار ہو گئی، جب آپ فارغ ہوئے تو فرمایا: شاید تم لوگ اپنے امام کے پیچھے کچھ پڑھتے ہو؟

، ہم نے کہا: ہاں، اللہ کے رسول! ہم جلدی جلدی پڑھ لیتے ہیں تو ۱؎ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: سورۃ فاتحہ کے علاوہ کچھ مت پڑھا کرو، کیونکہ جو اسے نہ پڑھے اس کی نماز نہیں ہوتی ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Muhammad An Nufaili] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Salamah] dari [Muhammad bin Ishaq] dari [Makhul] dari [Mahmud bin Ar Rabi'] dari ['Ubadah bin As Shamit] dia berkata; "Kami shalat shubuh di belakang Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, sepertinya bacaan beliau terasa berat.

Seusai shalat, beliau bersabda: "Sepengetahuanku, kalian membaca di belakang imam kalian." Mereka menjawab; "Ya, wahai Rasulullah! (hingga) Kami menyusul bacaanmu dengan cepat."

Beliau bersabda: "Jangan kalian lakukan kecuali Fatihatul Kitab (Al Fatihah) karena tidak sah shalat seseorang yang tidak membacanya

Ubade bin es-Samit'den; demiştir ki: Biz sabah namazında Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'in arkasında bulunuyorduk. Resul-i Ekrem (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) (Kur'an) okudu. (Fakat Kur'an okumak) kendisine, ağır gelmeye başladı. (Namazı) bitirince; "Her halde imamınızın arkasında siz de okuyorsunuz" buyurdu. Biz de: Evet, ey Allah'ın Resulu, hızlı bir şekilde (biz de okuyoruz), dedik.

“(Böyle) yapmayın, sadece Fatiha'yı okuyun. O'nu okumayan kimsenin namazı yoktur." buyurdu. Diğer tahric: Buhari, ezan; Müslim, salat; Tirmizî, mevakit, tefsir sure; Nesaî, iftitah; İbn Mace, ikame, Darimî salat; Muvatta, nida; Ahmed b. Hanbel, II, 285, 290, 460, 487; V

What it means

It was reported from ‘Ubādah ibn As-Sāmit that he said: "We were praying the dawn prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and he started to recite but the recitation became difficult for him," i.e. he could not recite easily.

So, when he finished he said: "Perhaps you recite behind your Imām?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) answered: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." It was as if the recitation became difficult for him and he did not know the cause so he asked them that question. This is indicated in his statement in another narration: "Why am I struggling with the Qur'an?"

Most likely, the reason for the difficulty was the shortcoming which resulted from them deeming his recitation insufficient. One who enjoys perfection may be affected by the shortcomings of those behind him. The Sunnah directive for those praying behind the Imām is to recite silently, such that each person hears himself. And it is obligatory for the person praying alone as well as the Imām and those praying behind him to recite Sūrat al-Fātihah in both audible and silent prayers, given the soundness and specific indication of the relevant textual evidence.

Then he directed them to adhere to reciting Sūrat al-Fātihah, saying: "Do not do so except with Sūrat al-Fātihah." It is probable that the forbiddance refers to reciting out loud, or reciting more than Sūrat al-Fātihah, so as not to distract or confuse the Imām and the worshipers praying behind him.
