A hadith you authenticated in "Sunan al-Tirmidhi," in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (And there is no prayer for one who does not recite al-Fatihah and a surah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A hadith you authenticated in "Sunan al-Tirmidhi," in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 238Da'if (Darussalam); yet we read in your book "The Description of Prayer" that the surah is not obligatory.
The Shaykh : It seems your question contains both a hadith aspect and a fiqh aspect. Do you mean both, or do you mean something specific?
The questioner : No, I mean only the fiqh aspect.
The Shaykh : The fiqh?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay; what did you mention that contradicts this?
The questioner : It says:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 238Da'if (Darussalam).
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : From this, it is understood that reciting the surah along with al-Fatihah is obligatory.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is interpreted to mean: the addition is permissible; because if he had said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam), it might come to mind that it is not permissible to recite more than al-Fatihah. So when the addition of: came, it indicated the permissibility of reciting, not the obligation of reciting.
The questioner : You used to say that after... I was present for a question for each person until the second round came to him.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Perhaps the same rule applies, but if it is permittedThose present .
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
and there is no Salat for one who did not recite Al-Hamd and a Surah in the obligatory (prayer) or other prayers.
ولا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بالحمد وسورة في فريضة أو غيرهاThe Shaykh : It seems your question contains both a hadith aspect and a fiqh aspect. Do you mean both, or do you mean something specific?
The questioner : No, I mean only the fiqh aspect.
The Shaykh : The fiqh?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay; what did you mention that contradicts this?
The questioner : It says:

لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بالحمد وسورةThe Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : From this, it is understood that reciting the surah along with al-Fatihah is obligatory.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is interpreted to mean: the addition is permissible; because if he had said:
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتابSo what was added
فما زادThe questioner : You used to say that after... I was present for a question for each person until the second round came to him.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Perhaps the same rule applies, but if it is permittedThose present .
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
