Arabic Text
قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ مَوْلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي أَحْيَانًا أَ
كُونُ وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ فَغَمَزَ ذِرَاعِي وَقَالَ اقْرَأْ بِهَا يَا فَارِسِيُّ فِي نَفْسِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ فَنِصْفُهَا لِي وَنِصْفُهَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَءُوا يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ { الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ } يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ { الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ } يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ { مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ { إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ } يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ { اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ } فَهَؤُلَاءِ لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ

English Translation
I read to 'Abd al-Rahman: Malik; and Ishaq narrated to us, he said: Malik informed us, from al-'Ala' ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ya'qub, that he heard Abu al-Sa'ib, the freed slave of Hisham ibn Zuhrah, saying: I heard Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) saying: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever prays a prayer in which he does not recite Umm al-Qur'an (al-Fatihah), it is deficient (khidaj), deficient, deficient — incomplete." I said: "O Abu Hurayrah, sometimes I am behind the imam." He squeezed my arm and said: "Recite it silently to yourself, O Persian, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: Allah (عز وجل) said: 'I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves. Half of it is for Me and half is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Recite.' The servant says: 'All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.' Allah (عز وجل) says: 'My servant has praised Me.' The servant says: 'The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.' Allah (عز وجل) says: 'My servant has extolled Me.' The servant says: 'Master of the Day of Judgment.' Allah (عز وجل) says: 'My servant has glorified Me.' The servant says: 'You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.' Allah (عز وجل) says: 'This verse is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks.' The servant says: 'Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have incurred anger, nor of those who have gone astray.' These are for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks.'"
