Ata narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) who said that one should recite (al-Fatiha) in every (rakah of) prayer. What we heard (i. e. recitation) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we made you listen to that. And that which he (recited) inwardly, we (recited) inwardly for you. A person said to him: If I add nothing to the (recitation) of the Umm al Quran (Surat al-Fatiha), would it make the prayer incomplete? He (AbuHurairah) said: If you add to that (if you recite some of verses of the Quran along with Surat at-Fatiha) that is better for you. But if you are contented with it (Surat al-Fatiha) only, it is sufficient for you.
