سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ لَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِهَا فِي جَهْرٍ أَوْ إِخْفَاتٍ قُلْتُ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ إِذَا كَانَ خَائِفاً أَوْ مُسْتَعْجِلًا يَقْرَأُ بِسُورَةٍ أَوْ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ .
Translation
Ali, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the one who does not recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1) in his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> for him, unless if he were to begin with it, whether it be loudly or silently’. I said, ‘Which of the two is more beloved to you<sup>asws</sup>, when he was fearful or in haste, should he recite with one Chapter or Opening of the Book (Chapter 1)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Opening of the Book (Chapter 1)’.
