حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنَّ أَبَا السَّائِبِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ ‏"‏ . فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ أَحْيَانًا وَرَاءَ الإِمَامِ . فَغَمَزَ ذِرَاعِي وَقَالَ يَا فَارِسِيُّ اقْرَأْ بِهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ .

Narrator: Abu Sa’ib

English translation
It was narrated from Abu Sa’ib that he heard Abu Hurairah say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs a prayer in which he does not recite Ummul Qur’an (the Mother of the Qur’an, i.e., Al- Fatihah), it is deficient; not complete.’” I said: ‘O Abu Hurairah, sometimes I am behind the Imam. He pressed my forearm and said: ‘O Persian! Recite it to yourself.’”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূস সাইব (রহঃ) আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ)-কে বলতে শুনেছেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ যে ব্যাক্তি কোন সালাত পড়লো এবং তাতে উম্মুল কুরআন (সূরাহ ফাতিহা) পড়েনি তার সালাত অসম্পূর্ণ। আবূস সাইব (রহঃ) বলেন, আমি বললাম, হে আবূ হুরাইরাহ! আমি কখনো কখনো ইমামের সাথে সালাত পড়ি। তিনি আমার বাহুতে খোঁচা দিয়ে বলেন, হে ফারিসী! তুমি তা মনে মনে পড়ো।
