843. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "We used to recite the Opening of the Book and a Surah behind the Imâm in the first two Rak'ah of the Zuhr and the 'Asr', and in the last two Rak'ah (we would recite) the Opening of the Book." (Hasan)

Arabic text

843 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «كُنَّا نَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ، بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَسُورَةٍ وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ»

Commentary

a. Reciting Al-Fātiḥah behind the Imām as well, is an enjoined duty. b. In prayers of inaudible recitation by the Imām, some other part of the Qur'ān may also be recited after Al-Fātiḥah.
