\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn\nYa'qub that he heard Abu's-Sa'ib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra, say\nhe had heard Abu Hurayra say, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may\nAllah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Whoever prays a prayer\nwithout reciting the umm al-Qur'an in it, his prayer is aborted, it is\naborted, it is aborted, incomplete.' So I said, 'Abu Hurayra,\nsometimes I am behind the imam.'Hepulled my forearm and said, 'Recite\nit to yourself, O Persian, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, may\nAllah bless him and grant him peace, say that Allah the Blessed, the\nExalted, said, "I have divided the prayer into two halves between me\nand my slave. One half of it is for Me and one half of it is for IVly\nslave, and My slave has what he asks." ' The Messenger of Allah, may\nAllah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Recite." The slave says,\n'Praise be to AIIah, the Lord of theWorlds.' Allah the Blessed, the\nExalted, says, 'My slave has praised Me.' The slave says, 'The\nMerciful, the Compassionate.' Allah says, 'My slave has spoken well of\nMe.' The slave says, 'Master of the Day of the Deen.' Allah says, 'My\nslave has glorified Me.' The slave says, 'You alone we worship and You\nalone we askforhelp.'Allahsays,'This ayat is between Me and My slave,\nand for My slave is what he asks. 'The slave says, 'Guide us in the\nstraight Path, the Path of those whom You have blessed, not of those\nwith whom You are angry, nor those who are in error.
