Urdu (اردو)
حضرت ابو ہریرہؓ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے روایت کرتے ہیں کہ وہ فرماتے ہیں: “جو شخص ایسی نماز پڑھے جس میں ام القرآن نہ پڑھے، تو وہ تین بار خدا کو پکارتا ہے (خدائی میں کمی کرتا ہے) اور وہ تکمیل نہیں کرتا۔” کسی نے پوچھا: ہم امام کے پیچھے ہوتے ہیں تو ایسی نماز میں کیا پڑھیں؟ تو حضرت ابو ہریرہؓ نے فرمایا: اپنی جانی پڑھو، میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے سنا کہ اللہ تعالی نے فرمایا
میری نماز کو میں اور میرا بندہ آدھا آدھا کریں اور میرا بندہ جو چاہے میری دعا کرے۔ جب وہ فرماتا ہے: ‘الحمد لله رب العالمین’ تو خدا تعالی کہتا ہے: میرا بندہ نے میری تعریف کی، اور جب وہ فرماتا ہے: ‘الرحمن الرحیم’ تو خدا تعالی کہتا ہے: میرا بندہ نے مجھ پر احسان کیا۔ اور جب وہ فرماتا ہے: ‘مالک یوم الدین’ تو خدا تعالی کہتا ہے: میرا بندہ نے میری عظمت کی، اور ایک دفعہ فرمایا: میرا بندہ میرے حوالے کر دیا۔ اور جب وہ فرماتا ہے: ‘إِیَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِیَّاكَ نَسْتَعِینُ’ تو خدا تعالی کہتا ہے
یہ میرے اور میرے بندے کے درمیان ہے، اور میرا بندہ جو چاہے میری مدد مانگے۔ اور جب وہ فرماتا ہے: ‘اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِیمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِینَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ غَیْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَیْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّینَ’ تو خدا تعالی کہتا ہے: یہ میرے بندے کیلئے ہے اور میرے بندے کیلئے جو چاہے۔”
English (إنجليزية): Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever performs a prayer and does not recite the Opening of the Book (Al-Fatiha) in it, his prayer is incomplete, lacking something. It was said to Abu Huraira:
‘We are behind the Imam (the one leading the prayer).’ He said: ‘Recite it to yourself, for I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: Allah, the Exalted, has said: I have divided the prayer into two halves between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. When the servant says
: ‘Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds,’ Allah says: ‘My servant has praised Me.’ When he says: ‘The Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,’ Allah says: ‘My servant has extolled Me.’ When he says: ‘Master of the Day of Judgment,’ Allah says: ‘My servant has glorified Me,’ and sometimes He will say: ‘My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me.’ When he says: ‘You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help,’ Allah says:
‘This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.’ When he says: ‘Guide us on the Straight Path, the path of those who have received Your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath upon themselves, nor of those who have gone astray,’ Allah says: ‘This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.'”
