Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ تَقْرَءُونَ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا إِلَّا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا صَلَاةَ إِلَّا بِهَا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Salamah told us, from Ibn Ishaq — meaning Muhammad — from Makhul, from Mahmud ibn al-Rabi', from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led us in prayer and recited, and the recitation became heavy upon him. When he finished, he said: "Do you recite along?" We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Then there is no harm, provided you do not do so except with the Opening of the Book, for there is no prayer without it."
