[880] 40 - (...) Al-‘Alâ’ bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmân bin Ya‘qûb narrated that Abû As-Sâ’ib, the freed slave of Banû ‘Abdullâh bin Hishâm bin Zuhrah, told him that he heard Abû Hurairah say: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever offers a prayer in which he does not recite the Essence of the Qur’ân...’ - a Ḥadîth like that of Sufyân (no. 878). In their Ḥadîth it says: “Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, says: ‘I have divided the prayer into two halves, between Myself and My slave, one half for Me, and one half for My slave.’”
