حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is invalid.”

‘উবাদাহ ইবনু সমিত (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রাসুলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি সালাতে সূরাহ্ আল-ফাতিহা পড়ল না তার সালাত হলো না।* (মুসলিম ৪/১১, হাঃ ৩৯৪, আহমাদ ২২৮০৭)

ہم سے علی بن عبداللہ مدینی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے سفیان بن عیینہ نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے زہری نے بیان کیا محمود بن ربیع سے، انہوں نے عبادہ بن صامت رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا، جس شخص نے سورۃ فاتحہ نہ پڑھی اس کی نماز نہیں ہوئی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Ali bin 'Adullah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Az Zuhri] dari [Mahmud bin Ar Rabi'] dari ['Ubadah bin Ash Shamit], bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak ada shalat bagi yang tidak membaca Faatihatul Kitab (Al Fatihah)

Ubâde İbn es-Sâmit (r.a.) Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: "Kur'an'ın ilk sûresi olan Fâtihatül-Kitâb'ı okumayan bir kimsenin namazı olmaz

Sahih al-Bukhari 756, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 150. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that the prayer is invalid without reciting Surat al-Fātihah, which is one of the pillars of prayer in every Rak‘ah (unit of prayer).

What it teaches

  • Reciting any Surah instead of Surat al-Fātihah, despite the ability to recite it, is insufficient.
  • The Rak‘ah in which Surat al-Fātihah is not recited, whether intentionally, ignorantly, or forgetfully, is invalid because it is a pillar and pillars never cease to be due.
  • The one led in prayer is exempted from reciting Surat al-Fātihah if he catches up with the prayer while the Imam is in the state of bowing.
