without hardship. If he knows only one verse, he should repeat it seven times. If he knows nothing of the Quran and it is not possible for him to learn before the time [for the prayer] expires, it is incumbent upon him to say: "Subhan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (Glory be to Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the greatest, and there is no power nor strength except by Allah), due to what Abu Dawood narrated, saying: A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "I cannot grasp anything of the Quran, so teach me what would suffice me of it." He said: "Say (60): Subhan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah." He said: "This is for Allah, so what is for me?" He said: "Say: Allahummaghfirli, warhamni, warzuqni, wahdini, wa 'afini" (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, provide for me, guide me, and grant me health) (61). He is not required to exceed the first five, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) limited himself to them, and he only added to them when he requested an increase. Some of the companions of al-Shafi'i mentioned that he should add two phrases to these five so that they stand in the place of seven verses. This is incorrect, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught him that in response to his saying: "Teach me what would suffice me." The question is like the repetition (62) of the answer, as if he said: "This suffices you." This differs from recitation other than the Fatihah, because that is a replacement from a different genus, so it resembles tayammum. If he does not know all these words, he should say whatever of them he knows. It is appropriate that he be required to repeat what he knows of them to a corresponding extent, like one who knows part of the Fatihah. It is possible that the [saying of] tahmid, tahlil, and takbir would suffice him, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "If you have any of the Quran with you, recite it; otherwise, praise Allah, proclaim His oneness, and magnify Him." Extracted by Abu Dawood (63).
151 - Issue; He said: (Then when he says: "wa la-ddallin", he says: "Amin")
The sum of it is that the saying of "Amin" upon finishing the Fatihah is a sunnah for the imam and the follower in prayer. This has been narrated from Ibn Umar and Ibn al-Zubayr, and it is the view of al-Thawri, 'Ata', al-Shafi'i, Yahya ibn

الساعاتِ إلا بِمَشَقَّةٍ. فإنْ لم يُحْسِنْ إلَّا آيَةً، كَرَّرَها سَبْعًا. فإنْ لم يُحْسِنْ شيئًا مِن القرآنِ، ولا أمْكَنَهُ التَّعَلُّمَ قبلَ خُرُوجِ الوقتِ، لَزِمَهُ أنْ يَقُولَ: سبحانَ اللهِ، والحمدُ لِلَّهِ، ولا إلهَ إلَّا اللهُ، واللهُ أكبرُ، ولا حَوْلَ ولا قُوَّةَ إلَّا باللهِ؛ لِمَا رَوَى أبو داوُد، قال: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إلى النَّبِيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-، فقال: إنِّي لا أسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ شيئًا مِنَ القُرْآنِ، فَعَلِّمْنِى مَا يُجْزِئُنِى منه. فقال: "قُلْ (٦٠): سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إلهَ إلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إلَّا باللهِ". قَالَ: هذا لِلَّهِ. فما لىَ؟ قَالَ: " تَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى، وَارْحَمْنِى، وَارْزُقْنِى، وَاهْدِنِى، وَعَافِنِى" (٦١). ولا يَلْزَمُه الزِّيَادَةُ على الخَمْسِ الأُوَلِ؛ لأنَّ النَّبىَّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- اقْتَصَرَ عليها، وإنَّمَا زَادَهُ عليها حين طَلَبَ الزِّيَادَةَ. وذكر بعضُ أصْحابِ الشافعيِّ، أنَّه يَزِيدُ على هذهِ الخَمْس كَلِمَتَيْنِ، حتى تكونَ مَقَامَ سَبْعِ آياتٍ. ولا يَصِحُّ؛ لأنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- عَلَّمَهُ ذلكَ جَوَابًا لقولِهِ: عَلَّمْنِى مَا يُجْزِئُنِى. والسؤالُ كالمُعادِ (٦٢) في الجوابِ، فكأنَّهُ قال: يُجْزِئُكَ هذا. وتُفَارِقُ القِرَاءَةَ مِنْ غيرِ الفاتحَةِ؛ لأنَّه بَدَلٌ مِنْ غيرِ الجِنْسِ، فأَشْبَهَ التَّيَمُّمَ. فإنْ لم يُحْسِنْ هذه الكلماتِ كلَّها، قال ما يُحْسِنُ منها. ويَنْبَغِى أنْ يَلْزَمَه تَكْرَارُ ما يُحْسِنُ منها بقَدْرِها، كمَنْ يُحْسِن بعضَ الفاتحَةِ. ويَحْتَمِلُ أنْ يُجْزِئَه التَّحْمِيدُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ والتَّكْبِيرُ؛ لقولِ النَّبِيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-: "فإنْ كَانَ مَعَكَ قُرْآنٌ فَاقْرَأْ بِهِ، وإلَّا فَاحْمَدِ اللهَ، وهَلِّلْهُ، وكَبِّرْهُ". رَوَاهُ أبو داوُد (٦٣).
