حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّی ثُمَّ جَائَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّلَامَ قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّکَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ فَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ فَصَلَّی کَمَا کَانَ صَلَّی ثُمَّ جَائَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْکَ السَّلَامُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّکَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ حَتَّی فَعَلَ ذَلِکَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَکَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أُحْسِنُ غَيْرَ هَذَا عَلِّمْنِي قَالَ إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ فَکَبِّرْ ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مَعَکَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ ارْکَعْ حَتَّی تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاکِعًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّی تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّی تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّی تَطْمَئِنَّ جَالِسًا ثُمَّ افْعَلْ ذَلِکَ فِي صَلَاتِکَ کُلِّهَا

صحیح مسلم · Hadith 885

Ata' reported it on the authority of Abu Huraira who said: Recitation (of Surat al-Fatiha) in every (rak'ah) of prayer in essential. (The recitation) that we listened to from the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) we made you listen to it. And that which he recited inwardly to us, we recited it inwardly for you. And he who recites Umm al-Qur'an, it is enough for him (to complete the prayer), and he who adds to it (recites some other verses of the Holy Qur'an along with Surat al-Fatiha), it is preferable for him.
