Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Companion’s words (mawquf) Jami' at-Tirmidhi 313

Narrator:Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ

مَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَرَاءَ الإِمَامِ ‏

Abu Nu'aim Wahb bin Kaisan narated that he heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying:

"Whoever prayed a Rak'ah in which he did not recite Umm Al-Qur'an, then he did not pray except if he was behind an Imam."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 313) and Malik (No. 187).

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( مَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَخْ ) قَالَ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ الْقِرَاءَةِ ص 112 بَعْدَمَا أَخْرَجَ هَذَا الْأَثَرَ مَا لَفْظُهُ : فِيهِ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى تَعَيُّنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَوُجُوبِ قِرَاءَتِهَا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْ رَكَعَاتِ الصَّلَاةِ خِلَافَ قَوْلِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا يَتَعَيَّنُ وَلَا يَجِبُ قِرَاءَتُهَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ. فَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِلَّا وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ مَذْهَبِهِ جَوَازُ تَرْكِ الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِيمَا يَجْهَرُ فِيهِ الْإِمَامُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ , فَقَدْ رَوَيْنَا عَنْهُ فِيمَا تَقَدَّمَ : كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّ…

Authentic Muwatta Malik 187
