حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فِي کُلِّ الصَّلَاةِ يَقْرَأُ فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْمَعْنَاکُمْ وَمَا أَخْفَی مِنَّا أَخْفَيْنَا مِنْکُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنْ لَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَی أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ إِنْ زِدْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهَا أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 883
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: One is not credited with having observed the prayer without the recitation (of al-Fatiha). So said Abu Huraira: (The prayer in which) the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited in a loud voice, we also recited that loudly for you (and the prayer in which) he recited inwardly we also recited inwardly for you (to give you a practical example of the prayer of the Holy Prophet).
