In summary, the ruling on omitting a pillar [from a rak'ah] (28) is the same as the ruling on omitting the rak'ah in its entirety. [Ahmad explicitly stated this in several places] (29).
Section: The takbirat al-ihram (opening takbir) is distinguished from the other pillars by the fact that the prayer does not commence without it; [because it is the prohibition (tahrīm) of the prayer, as] (30) the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Its prohibition is the takbir" (31). One does not enter the prayer without it. The standing (qiyam) is distinguished by the fact that it is dropped in voluntary (nafil) prayers; [because it is lengthy and thus difficult, so it is dropped in the supererogatory prayer as an exaggeration in increasing them, just as the turning (towards the qibla) is dropped in it during travel on a riding animal, as an exaggeration in increasing them] (32). The [recitation of al-Fatihah] (33) is distinguished by the fact that it is dropped for the follower (ma'mum); [because his imam's recitation is a recitation for him] (32). The salutation (salam) is distinguished by the fact that if he forgets it (34), he performs it specifically.
213- Issue: He said: (Whoever intentionally omits anything from the takbir, other than the takbirat al-ihram, or the glorification (tasbih) in the bowing (ruku'), or the glorification (1) in the prostration (sujud), or the saying: "Allah hears those who praise Him," or the saying: "Our Lord, to You is the praise," or "My Lord, forgive me, [my Lord, forgive me] (1)," or the first tashahhud, or the prayer upon the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the final tashahhud, his prayer is invalidated. Whoever omits any of it out of forgetfulness, he performs the two prostrations of forgetfulness).
This is the second category of obligations (wajibāt), and they are eight in number. There are two narrations regarding their obligatory nature: one of them is that they are obligatory, which is the opinion of Ishaq. The other is that they are not obligatory, which is the opinion of

الجُمْلَةِ فالحُكْمُ في تَرْكِ رُكْنٍ [من رَكْعَةٍ] (٢٨) كالحُكْمِ في تَرْكِ الرَّكْعَةِ بكَمَالِها. [نَصَّ عليه أحمدُ في مَوَاضِعَ] (٢٩).
فصل: وتَخْتَصُّ تَكْبِيرَةُ الإِحْرَامِ من بين الأَرْكانِ بأنَّ الصَّلاةَ لا تَنْعَقِدُ بِتَرْكِها؛ [لأنَّها تَحْرِيمُها، قال] (٣٠) النبيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-: "تَحْرِيمُها التَّكْبِيرُ" (٣١). ولا يَدْخُلُ في الصَّلاةِ بِدُونِها. ويَخْتَصُّ القِيَامُ بسُقُوطِهِ في النَّوَافِلِ؛ [لأنَّه يَطُولُ فَيَشُقُّ، فسَقَطَ في النَّافِلَةِ، مُبَالغَةً في تَكْثِيرِها، كما سَقَطَ التَّوَجُّهُ فيها في السَّفَرِ على الرَّاحِلَةِ، مُبَالَغَةً في تَكْثِيرِها] (٣٢). وتَخْتَصُّ [قراءةُ الفاتحةِ] (٣٣) بسُقُوطِها عن المَأْمُومِ؛ [لأنَّ قِرَاءةَ إمَامِهِ له قِرَاءَةٌ] (٣٢). ويَخْتَصُّ السَّلَامُ بأنه إذا نَسِيَهُ (٣٤) أَتَى به خَاصَّةً.
٢١٣ - مسألة؛ قال: (ومَنْ تَرَك شَيْئًا من التَّكْبِيرِ غيرَ تَكْبِيرَةِ الإِحْرَامِ أو التَّسْبِيحِ في الرُّكُوعِ أو التَّسْبِيحِ (١) في السُّجُودِ، أو قَوْلَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، أو قَوْلَ: رَبَّنَا ولَكَ الحَمْدُ، أو رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِى، [رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِى] (١)، أو التَّشَهُّدَ الأَوَّل، أو الصَّلَاةَ على النبيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- في التَّشَهُّدِ الأَخِيرِ عامِدًا، بَطَلَتْ صَلَاتُه. ومن تَرَك شَيْئًا منه سَاهِيا أتى بِسَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ)
هذا النَّوْعُ الثَّانِى من الوَاجِبَاتِ، وهى ثَمَانِيَةٌ، وفى وُجُوبِها رِوايَتانِ؛ إحْدَاهُما، أنَّها واجِبَةٌ، وهو قَوْلُ إسْحَاقَ. والأُخْرَى، لَيْسَتْ وَاجِبَةً، وهو قَوْلُ
