Sahih Muslim Book - 4, Hadith - 883

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فِي كُلِّ الصَّلَاةِ يَقْرَأُ فَمَا أَسْمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْمَعْنَاكُمْ وَمَا أَخْفَى مِنَّا أَخْفَيْنَا مِنْكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنْ لَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ زِدْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَيْهَا أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْكَ.

It was narrated that 'Ala' said: "Abu Hurairah said: 'In every Salat you should recite (from the Qur'an). What the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made us hear, we make you hear, and what he recited quietly we recite quietly.' A man said: 'Even if I do not recite more than the Essence of the Qur'an (Al-Fatihah)?' He said: 'If you recite more than that, that is better, but if you stop at that, it will suffice for you."'
