So he said to me, Go to Abu Abdullah asws and ask him asws, What is your asws view, for they have cried before me, so I came to you. So I said it to him asws, and he asws said to me: Tell him, so let him come out. I said to him asws, When should he go out, may I be sacrificed for you asws? He asws said: On the day of Monday. I said, How should he deal with it? ق ال ي خ ر ج ال م ن ب ر ث م ي خ ر ج ي م ش ي ك م ا ي م ش ي ي و م ال ع يد ي ن و ب ي ن ي د ي ه ال م ذ ن ون ف ي أ ي د يه م ع ن ز ه م ح ت ى إ ذ ا ان ت ه ى إ ل ى ال م ص ل ى ي ص ل ي ب الن اس ر ك ع ت ي ن ب غ ي ر أ ذ ان و ل إ ق ام ة ث م ي ص ع د ال م ن ب ر ف ي ق ل ب ر د اء ه ف ي ج ع ل ال ذ ع ل ى ي م ين ه ع ل ى ي س ار ه و ال ذ ع ل ى ي س ار ه ع ل ى ي م ين ه He asws said: He should take out the pulpit, then go out walking just as he would walk on the day of the two Eids, and in front of him would be the Muezzins, in their hands being their walking sticks, until when he ends up to the praying place, where he would pray two Rak at of Salāt with the people, without an Azan or an Iqamah. Then he would ascend the pulpit, and overturn his cloak, so that he would make that which is upon his right to be upon his left, and that which is upon his left to be upon his right. م ائ ة ت س ب يح ة ر اف عا ب ه ا م ائ ة ت ك ب ير ة ر اف عا ب ه ا ص و ت ه ث م ي ل ت ف ت إ ل ى الن ا س ع ن ي م ين ه ف ي س ب ح للا ث م ي س ت ق ب ل ال ق ب ل ة ف ي ك ب ر للا م ائ ة ت ح م يد ة ث م م ائ ة ت ه ل يل ة ر اف عا ب ه ا ص و ت ه ث م ي س ت ق ب ل الن اس ف ي ح م د للا ص و ت ه ث م ي ل ت ف ت إ ل ى الن اس ع ن ي س ار ه ف ي ه ل ل للا ي ر ف ع ي د ي ه ف ي د ع و ث م ي د ع ون ف ن ي ل ر ج و أ ن ل ي خ يب وا Then he should face the Qiblah, and he would exclaim one hundred Takbīr s, raising his voice with it. The he would turn towards the people on his right, so he would Glorify Allah azwj with one hundred Glorifications raising his voice with it. Then he would turn towards the people on his left, so he would extoll the Oneness of Allah azwj raising his voice with it. Then he would face the people, so he would Praise Allah azwj with one hundred Praises. Then he would raise his hands, and he would supplicate. Then they would be supplicating, so I asws hope that they would not be unsuccessful. 3 out of 49

4 ق ال ف ف ع ل ف ل م ا ر ج ع ن ا ج اء ال م ط ر ق ال وا ه ذ ا م ن ت ع ل يم ج ع ف ر. He (the narrator) said, He did so. So when we returned, the rain came, and they said, This is from the teaching of Ja far asws. و ف ي ر و اي ة ي ون س ف م ا ر ج ع ن ا ح ت ى أ ه م ت ن ا أ ن ف س ن ا. And in a report of Yunus, (He (the narrator) said): So we had not returned until we were drenched. 1 ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ه ش ام ب ن ال ح ك م ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال س أ ل ت ه ع ن ص ال ة م ام و ي ب ر ز إ ل ى م ك ان ن ظ يف ف ي ا ل س ت س ق اء ف ق ال م ث ل ص ال ة ال ع يد ي ن ي ق ر أ ف يه ا و ي ك ب ر ف يه ا ك م ا ي ق ر أ و ي ك ب ر ف يه ا ي خ رج ا ل س ك ين ة و و ق ار و خ ش وع و م س ك ن ة و ي ب ر ز م ع ه الن اس Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al-Hakam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws, said, I asked him asws about the Salāt for the rain, so he asws said: Similar to the Salāt of the two Eids. He would recite in it and exclaim Takbīr in it just as he would recite and exclaim Takbīr in those. The prayer leader would come out and go to a clean place in tranquillity, and dignity, and humbleness, and submissiveness, and the people would go out along with him. و ي م ج د ه و ي ث ن ي ع ل ي ه و ي ج ت ه د ف ي الد ع اء و ي ك ث ر م ن الت س ب يح و الت ه ل يل و الت ك ب ير و ي ص ل ي م ث ل ص ال ة ال ع يد ي ن ف ي ح م د للا ر ك ع ت ي ن ف ي د ع اء و م س أ ل ة و اج ت ه اد So he would Prise Allah azwj, and Glorify Him azwj, and Laud upon Him azwj, and strive in the supplication, and frequent from the Glorifications and the Extollations of Oneness, and the exclamations of Takbīr, and he would pray a Salāt similar to the Salāt of the two Eids, being two Rak at in a supplication and asking and striving. م ام ق ل ب ث و ب ه و ج ع ل ال ج ان ب ال ذ ع ل ى ال م ن ك ب ا ل ي م ن ع ل ى ا ل ي س ر و ال ذ ع ل ى ا ل ي س ر ع ل ى ا ل ي م ن ف ن الن ب ي ف ذ ا س ل م ا ل ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ك ذ ل ص ن ع. So when the prayer leader recites Salām (at the end of Salāt), he would overturn his cloth and make the side which is upon the right shoulder to be upon the left, and that which is upon the left to be upon the right, for the Prophet saww did it like that. 2 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ر ف ع ه ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال س أ ل ت ه ع ن ت ح و يل الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ر د اء ه إ ذ ا اس ت س ق ى ف ق ال ع ال م ة ب ي ن ه و ب ي ن أ ص ح اب ه ي ح و ل ال ج د ب خ ص با. Muhammad Bin Yahya, raising it, (It has been narrated) Abu Abdullah asws, said, I asked him asws about the overturning by the Prophet saww of his saww cloak when he saww (prayed the Salāt for the) rain. So he asws said: A sign between him saww and his saww companions of the overturning of the aridity (dryness) into fertility (growth). 3 1 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 89 H 1 2 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 89 H 2 3 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 89 H 3 4 out of 49

And in a report of Ibn Al-Mugheira, He asws said: One would exclaim Takbīr in a Salāt for the rain just as one would exclaim Takbīr in (the Salāt of the) two Eids seven in the first (Rak at), and five in the second (Rak at), and he would pray Salāt before the sermon, and be loud with the recitation, and he would supplicate for the rain while he is seated. 4 Chapter 90 Salāt of the eclipse باب ص ال ة ال ك س وف ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن ع م ر و ب ن ع ث م ان ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ع ب د للا ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ا ال ح س ن م وس ى ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول إ ن ه ل م ا ق ب ض إ ب ر اه يم ب ن ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ج ر ت ف يه ث ال ث س ن ن أ م ا و اح د ة ف ن ه ل م ا م ات ان ك س ف ت الش م س ف ق ا ل الن اس ان ك س ف ت الش م س ل ف ق د اب ن ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Abdullah who said, I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa asws saying: When Ibrahim as, the son as of Rasool- Allah saww passed away, three Sunnahs flowed regarding it. As for one, so when he as passed away, the sun was eclipsed. So the people said, The sun eclipsed due to the loss of the son as of Rasool-Allah saww. و أ ث ن ى ع ل ي ه ث م ق ال ي ا أ ي ه ا الن اس إ ن الش م س و ال ق م ر آي ت ان م ن ف ص ع د ر س ول للا ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ال م ن ب ر ف ح م د للا آي ات للا ت ج ر ي ان ب أ م ر ه م ط يع ان ل ه ل ت ن ك س ف ان ل م و ت أ ح د و ل ل ح ي ات ه ف ذ ا ان ك س ف ت ا أ و و اح د ة م ن ه م ا ف ص ل وا ث م ن ز ل ف ص ل ى ب الن اس ص ال ة ال ك س وف. So Rasool-Allah saww ascended the Pulpit, and he saww Praised Allah azwj and Lauded upon Him azwj, then said: O you people! The sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah azwj, both flowing by His azwj Command, Obedient to Him azwj. They do not get eclipsed for the death of anyone, nor for his life. So whenever they both get eclipsed, or one of the two, so pray Salāt. Then he saww descended and prayed Salāt with the people, a Salāt of the eclipse. 5 ع ل ي ع ن أ ب يه و م ح م د ب ن إ س م اع يل ع ن ال ف ض ل ب ن ش اذ ان ج م يعا ع ن ح م اد ب ن ع يس ى ع ن ح ر يز ع ن ز ر ا رة و م ح م د ب ن م س ل م ق ا ل س أ ل ن ا أ ب ا ج ع ف ر ( عليه السالم ) ع ن ص ال ة ال ك س وف ك م ه ي ر ك ع ة و ك ي ف ن ص ل يه ا ف ق ال ع ش ر ر ك ع ات و أ ر ب ع س ج د ات ت ف ت ت ح الص ال ة ب ت ك ب ير ة و ت ر ك ع ب ت ك ب ير ة و ت ر ف ع ر أ س ب ت ك ب ير ة إ ل ف ي ال خ ام س ة ال ت ي ت س ج د ف يه ا و ت ق ول س م ع للا ل م ن ح م د ه و ت ق ن ت ف ي ك ل ر ك ع ت ي ن ق ب ل الر ك وع و ت ط يل ال ق ن وت و الر ك وع ع ل ى ق د ر ال ق ر اء ة و الر ك وع و الس ج و د Ali, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al-Fazl Bin ShAzaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim who both said, We asked Abu Ja far asws about the Salāt of the eclipse, How many Rak at it is, and how is to be prayed. Ten Rak at and four Sajdahs. You would commence the Salāt with a Takbīr and you would perform Rukū with a Takbīr, and raise your head with a Takbīr except in the fifth in which you would perform Sajdah (prostrate) in, and you 4 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 89 H 4 5 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 90 H 1 5 out of 49

6 should be saying, Allah azwj Hears the one who Praises Him azwj, and you should perform Iqamah in every two Rak at before the Rukū, and you should prolong the Qunoot and the Rukū upon a measurement of the recitation, and the Rukū and the Sajdah. ع ز و ج ل ح ت ى ي ن ج ل ي و إ ن ان ج ل ى ق ب ل أ ن ت ف ر غ م ن ص ال ت ف أ ت م م ا ب ق ي و ت ج ه ر ف ن ف ر غ ت ق ب ل أ ن ي ن ج ل ي ف اق ع د و اد ع للا ب ال ق ر اء ة So if you are free before it clears, be seated and supplicate to Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic until it does clear; and if it clears before you are free from your Salāt, so complete whatever remains and be loud with the recitation. ق ال ق ل ت ك ي ف ال ق ر اء ة ف يه ا ف ق ال إ ن ق ر أ ت س ور ة ف ي ك ل ر ك ع ة ف اق ر أ ف ات ح ة ال ك ت اب و إ ن ن ق ص ت م ن الس ور ة ش ي ئا ف اق ر أ م ن ح ي ث ن ق ص ت و ل ت ق ر أ ف ات ح ة ال ك ت اب He (the narrator) said, I said, How is the recitation in it? So he asws said: If you were to recite a Chapter in every Rak at, so recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1); and if you reduce anything from the Chapter, so recite from wherever you had reduced, and do not recite the Opening of the Book. ق ال و ك ان ي س ت ح ب أ ن ي ق ر أ ف يه ا ب ال ك ه ف و ال ح ج ر إ ل أ ن ي ك ون إ م اما ي ش ق ع ل ى م ن خ ل ف ه و إ ن اس ت ط ع ت أ ن ت ك ون ص ال ت ب ار زا ل ي ج ن ب ي ت ف اف ع ل و ص ال ة ك س وف الش م س أ ط و ل م ن ص ال ة ك س وف ال ق م ر و ه م ا س و اء ف ي ال ق ر اء ة و الر ك وع و الس ج ود. He asws said: And it was always a recommendation if one were to recite therein with (Surah) Al-Kahf, and (Surah) Al-Hijr, except if there happens to be a prayer leader, it being difficult upon the ones behind him; and if you have the capacity that your Salāt be out in the open, a house not shielding you, then do so; and a Salāt of an eclipse of the sun is longer than a Salāt for an eclipse of the moon, and they are both the same in the recitation, and the Rukū, and the Sajdah. 6 ح م اد ع ن ح ر يز ع ن ز ر ار ة و م ح م د ب ن م س ل م ق ا ل ق ل ن ا ل ب ي ج ع ف ر ( عليه السالم ) ه ذ ه الر ي اح و الظ ل م ال ت ي ت ك ون ه ل ي ص ل ى ل ه ا ف ق ال ك ل أ خ او يف الس م اء م ن ظ ل م ة أ و ر يح أ و ف ز ع ف ص ل ل ه ص ال ة ال ك س وف ح ت ى ي س ك ن. Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim who both said, We said to Abu Ja far asws, These (strong) winds and the darkness which occur, should one pray Salāt for it? So he asws said: Every fear of the sky, from a darkness, or a wind, or a terror, so pray Salāt for it, Salāt of the eclipse, until it settles. 7 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ج م يل ب ن د ر اج ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال و ق ت ص ال ة ال ك س وف ف ي الس اع ة ال ت ي ت ن ك س ف ع ن د ط ل وع الش م س و ع ن د غ ر وب ه ا ق ال و ق ال أ ب و ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ه ي ف ر يض ة.

7 (It has been narrated) Abu Abdullah asws having said: A time for Salāt of the eclipse among the timing which it eclipses, (be it) at the emergence of the sun, and at its setting. And Abu Abdullah asws said: It is Obligatory. 8 ع ن ه ع ن م ح م د ب ن ال ح س ي ن ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن ال ع ال ء ب ن ر ز ين ع ن م ح م د ب ن م س ل م ع ن أ ح د ه م ا ( عليهما السالم ) ق ال س أ ل ت ه ع ن ص ال ة ال ك س وف ف ي و ق ت ال ف ر يض ة ف ق ال اب د أ ب ال ف ر يض ة ف ق يل ل ه ف ي و ق ت ص ال ة الل ي ل ف ق ال ص ل ص ال ة ال ك س وف ق ب ل ص ال ة الل ي ل. From him, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Al-A ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ), said, I asked him asws about Salāt of the eclipse during a time of the Obligatory (Salāt). So he asws said: Begin with the Obligatory (Salāt). So it was said to him asws, (Supposing it was) at the time of the night Salāt? So he asws said: Pray the Salāt of the eclipse before the night Salāt. 9 ع ن ه ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ح م اد ع ن ح ر يز ع ن ز ر ار ة و م ح م د ب ن م س ل م ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال إ ذ ا ان ك س ف ت الش م س ك ل ه ا و اح ت ر ق ت و ل م ت ع ل م ث م ع ل م ت ب ع د ذ ل ف ع ل ي ال ق ض اء و إ ن ل م ت ح ت ر ق ك ل ه ا ف ل ي س ع ل ي ق ض اء. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: When the sun is eclipsed totally and it smoulders, and you did not know, then you came to know after that, so upon you is the fulfilment (of the Salāt missed out); and if all of it did not get eclipsed, so there is no fulfilment (of the Salāt missed out) upon you. و ف ي ر و اي ة أ خ ر ى إ ذ ا ع ل م ب ال ك س وف و ن س ي أ ن ي ص ل ي ف ع ل ي ه ال ق ض اء و إ ن ل م ي ع ل م ب ه ك ل ه. ف ال ق ض اء ع ل ي ه ه ذ ا إ ذ ا ل م ي ح ت ر ق And in another report, (he asws said): When one knows of the eclipse and forgets to pray Salāt, so upon him would be the fulfilment (of the Salāt missed out); and if he did not know of it, so there is no fulfilment (of the Salāt missed out) upon him. This is when the whole of it is not eclipsed. 10 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن ع م ر ان ب ن م وس ى ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع ب د ال ح م يد ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ال ف ض ل ال و اس ط ي ق ال ك ت ب ت إ ل ي ه إ ذ ا ان ك س ف ت الش م س أ و ال ق م ر و أ ن ا ر اك ب ل أ ق د ر ع ل ى الن ز ول ق ال ف ك ت ب إ ل ي ص ل ع ل ى م ر ك ب ال ذ أ ن ت ع ل ي ه. Muhammad Bin yahya, from Imran Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Ali Bin Al- Fazl Al-Wasity who said, I wrote to him asws, When either the sun or the moon is eclipsed and I am riding, I am not able upon the dismounting. So he asws wrote to me: Pray Salāt upon your ride which you are upon Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 90 H 4 9 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 90 H 5 10 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 90 H 6 11 Al Kafi V 3 The Book Of Salāt CH 90 H 7 7 out of 49

Shall I saww confer upon you as, shall I saww give you as, shall I gift you as (something)? So Ja far as said to him saww : Yes, O Rasool- Allah saww! He asws said: So the people thought that he saww would give him as some gold or silver, and the people anticipated for that. ف ق ال ل ه إ ن ي أ ع ط ي ش ي ئا إ ن أ ن ت ص ن ع ت ه ف ي ك ل ي و م ك ان خ ي را ل م ن الد ن ي ا و م ا ف يه ا و إ ن ص ن ع ت ه ب ي ن ي و م ي ن غ ف ر ل م ا ب ي ن ه م ا أ و ك ل ج م ع ة أ و ك ل ش ه ر أ و ك ل س ن ة غ ف ر ل م ا ب ي ن ه م ا So he saww said to him asws : I saww am giving you as something, if you as were to act upon it during every day, it would be better for you as than the world and whatever is in it, and if you as were to do it in between two days, Allah azwj would Forgive for you as whatever (you as committed) what is between the two (days), or every Friday, or every month, or every year, (your as sins) would be Forgive for you as whatever (you as committed) between the two. ت ص ل ي أ ر ب ع ر ك ع ات ت ب ت د ئ ف ت ق ر أ و ت ق ول إ ذ ا ف ر غ ت س بح ان للا و ال ح م د ل ل و ل إ ل ه إ ل للا و للا أ ك ب ر ت ق ول ذ ل خ م س ع ش ر ة م ر ة ب ع د ال ق ر اء ة ف ذ ا ر ك ع ت ق ل ت ه ع ش ر م ر ات ف ذ ا ر ف ع ت ر أ س م ن الر ك وع ق ل ت ه ع ش ر م ر ات ف ذ ا س ج د ت ق ل ت ه ع ش ر م ر ات ف ذ ا ر ف ع ت ر أ س م ن الس ج ود ف ق ل ب ي ن الس ج د ت ي ن ع ش ر م ر ات ف ذ ا س ج د ت الث ان ي ة ف ق ل ع ش ر م ر ات ف ذ ا ر ف ع ت ر أ س م ن الس ج د ة الث ان ي ة ق ل ت ع ش ر م ر ات و أ ن ت ق اع د ق ب ل أ ن ت ق و م You as should pray four Rak at. You as should begin reciting and you as should be saying, when you as are free: Glory be to Allah azwj, and the Praise is for Allah azwj, and there is no god except for Allah azwj, and Allah azwj is the Greatest. You should say that fifteen times after the recitation. So when you as go down into Rukū say it ten times. So when you as raise your as head from the Rukū, say it ten times. So when you as perform Sajdah, say it ten times. So when you as raise your as head from the Sajdah, say it ten times between the two Sajdahs. So when you as perform Sajdah the second (Sajdah) say it ten times. So when you as raise your as head from the second Sajdah say it ten times, while you as are seated, before you as stand. ف ذ ل خ م س و س ب ع ون ت س ب يح ة ف ي ك ل ر ك ع ة ث ال ث م ائ ة ت س ب يح ة ف ي أ ر ب ع ر ك ع ات أ ل ف و م ائ ت ا ت س ب يح ة و ت ه ل يل ة و ت ك ب ير ة و ت ح م يد ة إ ن ش ئ ت ص ل ي ت ه ا ب الن ه ار و إ ن ش ئ ت ص ل ي ت ه ا ب الل ي ل. So that would be seventy-five Glorifications during every Rak at, being three hundred Glorification in four Rak at. In four (Rak at) there would be one thousand two hundred Glorifications, and Extollations of Oneness, and exclamations of Takbīr s, and Praises. If you as so desire to, pray it during the day, and if you as so desire to, pray it at night. 8 out of 49

And in a report of Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan asws (having said): You should recite in the first (Rak at) [99:1] When the earth is shaken (Chapter 99), and in the second (Rak at) [100:1] I swear by the runners (Chapter 100), and in the third (Rak at) [110:1] When there comes the help of Allah (Chapter 110), and in the fourth (Rak at) [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112). I said, So what are its Rewards? He asws said: If there were upon him sin like the grains of sand, Allah azwj would Forgive them for him. Then he asws looked at me, so he asws said: But rather, that is for you and for your companions (The Shias). 12 و ر و ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن ي ح ي ى ب ن ع م ر ان ال ح ل ب ي ع ن ذ ر يح ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ت ص ل يه ا ب الل ي ل و ت ص ل يه ا ف ي الس ف ر ب الل ي ل و الن ه ار و إ ن ش ئ ت ف اج ع ل ه ا م ن ن و اف ل. And in a report (It has been narrated) from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Yahya Bin Imran Al-Halby, from Zareeh, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: You can pray it (Salāt of Ja far as ) at night, and you can pray it during the journey at night and the day, and if you so desire to, so hasten it from your optional (Salāts). 13 ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن م ح س ن ب ن أ ح م د ع ن أ ب ان ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ا ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول م ن ك ان م س ت ع ج ال ي ص ل ي ص ال ة ج ع ف ر م ج ر د ة ث م ي ق ض ي الت س ب يح و ه و ذ اه ب ف ي ح و ائ ج ه. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhassin Bin Ahmad, from Aban who said, I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: The one who was in a hurry, can pray the Salāt of Ja far as in brief, then he can fulfil the Glorifications while he is going regarding his needs. 14 أ ح م د ب ن إ د ر يس ع ن م ح م د ب ن أ ح م د ع ن ع ل ي ب ن س ل ي م ان ق ال ك ت ب ت إ ل ىالر ج ل ( عليه السالم ) م ا ت ق ول ف ي ص ال ة الت س ب ي ح ف ي ال م ح م ل ف ك ت ب ( عليه السالم ) إ ذ ا ك ن ت م س اف را ف ص ل.

So I said, Yes. So he asws said: When you were in the last Sajdah from the fourth Rak at, say when you are free from your Glorification, Glorious is the One Who is Clothed in Honour and the Dignity!

12 Alkafi Volume 3 (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza asws having said: The one who prays the Maghrib Salāt, and four Rak at after it, and does not speak until he has prayed ten Rak at, reciting in each Rak at with Al-Hamd (Chapter 1), and [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112), it would equate to (freeing) ten necks (slaves). 22 ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ب ن ع يس ى ع ن اب ن أ ب ي ع م ي ر ع ن م ح م د ب ن ك ر د وس ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال م ن ت ط ه ر ث م أ و ى إ ل ى ف ر اش ه ب ات و ف ر اش ه ك م س ج د ه ف ن ق ام م ن الل ي ل ف ذ ك ر للا ت ن اث ر ت ع ن ه خ ط اي اه ف ن ق ام م ن آخ ر ل ش ي ئا إ و أ ث ن ى ع ل ي ه و ص ل ى ع ل ى الن ب ي ( صلى للا عليه وآله ) ل م ي س أ ل للا الل ي ل ف ت ط ه ر و ص ل ى ر ك ع ت ي ن و ح م د للا أ ع ط اه إ م ا أ ن ي ع ط ي ه ال ذ ي س أ ل ه ب ع ي ن ه و إ م ا أ ن ي د خ ر ل ه م ا ه و خ ي ر ل ه م ن ه. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Kurdous, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: The one who cleans himself, then lies down upon his bed overnight, his bed is like his Masjid. So if he was to stand at night and mention Allah azwj, his sins would scatter away from him. So if he was to stand at the end of the night, and cleans himself and prays two Rak at of Salāt, and Praises Allah azwj and Lauds upon Him azwj, and sends Blessings upon the Prophet saww, would not ask Allah azwj for anything, except that He azwj would Grant it. Either He azwj would Grant it what which he had asked for, exactly, or He azwj would Treasure it for him what is better for him than it. 23 ع ل ي ب ن م ح م د ب س ن اد ه ع ن ب ع ض ه م ( عليهم السالم ) ف ي ق و ل للا ع ز و ج ل إ ن ناش ئ ة الل ي ل ه ي أ ش د و ط ئا و أ ق و م ق يال ق ا ل ه ي ر ك ع ت ان ب ع د ال م غ ر ب ت ق ر أ ف ي أ و ل ر ك ع ة ب ف ات ح ة ال ك ت اب و ع ش ر م ن أ و ل ال ب ق ر ة و آي ة الس خ ر ة و م ن ق و ل ه و إ له ك م إ ل ه واح د ل إ له إ ل ه و الر ح من الر ح يم. إ ن ف ي خ ل ق الس ماوات و ا ل ر ض إ ل ى ق و ل ه ل يات ل ق و م ي ع ق ل و ن و خ م س ع ش رة م ر ة ق ل ه و للا أ ح د Ali Bin Muhammad, by his chain, (It has been narrated) from one of them asws regarding the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic [73:6] Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best speech. He asws said: These are the two Rak at of Salāt after Al-Maghrib. You should recite in the first Rak at with the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1), and then (Verses) from the beginning of (Surah) Al-Baqarah, and Al-Sakhra Verse (Ch 7:54), and from His azwj Words [2:163] And your God is one God! There is no god but He; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [2:164] Surely in the Creation of the skies and the earth up to His azwj Words - there are signs for a people who understand, And fifteen times [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112). و ف ي الر ك ع ة الث ان ي ة ف ات ح ة ال ك ت اب و آي ة ال ك ر س ي و آخ ر ال ب ق ر ة م ن ق و ل ه ل ل ما ف ي الس ماوات و ما ف ي ا ل ر ض إ ل ى أ ن ت خ ت م الس ور ة و خ م س ع ش ر ة م ر ة ق ل ه و للا أ ح د ث م اد ع ب ع د ه ذ ا ب م ا ش ئ ت And in the second Rak at, Opening of the Book (Chapter 1), and the Verse of the Throne (Ch 2:255), and the end part of (Surah) Al-Baqarah, from His azwj Words [2:284] Whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is for Allah up to the end of the Chapter, and fifteen times [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112).

So he asws said: Go out by land and it is upon you that you go over to the Masjid of Rasool-Allah saww and pray two Rak at of Salāt therein in a time other than of an Obligatory Salāt. Then you should seek Allah azwj s Choice one hundred and one times, then wait. ف ن ع ز م للا ل ع ل ى ال ب ح ر ف ق ل ال ذ ق ال للا ع ز و ج ل و قال ار ك ب وا ف يها ب س م للا م ج راها و م ر ساها إ ن ر ب ي ل غ ف ور ر ح ي م ف ن اض ط ر ب ب ال ب ح ر ف ات ع ل ى ج ان ب ا ل ي م ن و ق ل ب س م للا اس ك ن ب س ك ين ة للا و ق ر ب و ق ار للا و اه د أ ب ذ ن للا و ل ح و ل و ل ق و ة إ ل ب ا ل ل So if Allah azwj has Determined for you (to travel) upon the sea, so say [11:41] And he said: Embark in it, in the Name of Allah be its sailing and its anchoring; surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful. So if the sea is restless with you, so lean upon your right side and say, In the Name of Allah azwj, Settle with the Tranquillity of Allah azwj, and be dignified with the Dignity of Allah azwj, and calm down by the Permission of Allah azwj. And there is neither a Might nor Strength except with Allah azwj. ق ل ن ا أ ص ل ح للا م ا الس ك ين ة ر يح ت خ ر ج م ن ال ج ن ة ل ه ا ص ور ة ك ص ور ة ا ل ف أ ق ب ل ت ت د ور ح و ل أ ر ك ان ال ب ي ت و ه و ي ض ع ا ل س اط ين ن س ان و ر ائ ح ة ط ي ب ة و ه ي ال ت ي نز ل ت ع ل ى إ ب ر اه ي م We said, May Allah azwj Keep you asws well! What is the tranquillity? (He asws said): It is a wind which comes out from the Paradise. For it is an image like an image of the human being, and an aromatic fragrance, and it is which descended upon Ibrahim as. So it came circling around the corners of the House (Kabah), while he as was placing the foundations. ق يل ل ه ه ي م ن ال ت ي ق ال للا ع ز و ج ل ف يه س ك ين ة م ن ر ب ك م و ب ق ي ة م م ا ت ر آل م وسى و آل هار ون ق ال ت ل الس ك ين ة ف ي الت اب وت و ك ان ت ف يه ط ش ت ت غ س ل ف يه ا ق ل وب ا ل ن ب ي اء و ك ان الت اب وت ي د ور ف ي ب ن ي إ س ر ائ يل م ع ا ل ن ب ي اء ث م أ ق ب ل ع ل ي ن ا It was said to him asws, Is it from that which Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Said [2:248] in which there is tranquillity from your Lord and remnants of what the children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left? He asws said: That is the tranquillity in the box, and therein was a tray in which the heart of the Prophets as had been washed, and the box was going around (in turns) among the Children of Israel with the Prophets as. Then it came to us asws. ف ق ال م ا ت اب وت ك م ق ل ن ا الس ال ح ق ال ص د ق ت م ه و ت اب وت ك م و إ ن خ ر ج ت ب را ف ق ل ال ذ ق ال للا ع ز و ج ل س ب حان ال ذ س خ ر ل نا هذا ن و ما ك ن ا ل ه م ق ر ن ين. و إ ن ا إ لى ر ب نا ل م ن ق ل ب ون ف ن ه ل ي س م ن ع ب د ي ق ول ه ا ع ن د ر ك وب ه ف ي ق ع م ن ب ع ير أ و د اب ة ف ي ص يب ه ش يء ب ذ للا 16 out of 49

17 So he asws said: So what are your boxes? We said, The weapons. He asws said: You speak the truth. These are your boxes, and if you were to go out in the land, so say that which Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: [43:13] Glory be to Him Who Made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it [43:14] And surely to our Lord we must return, for there is none from a servant who says it during his embarkation, so he would fall from a camel or an animal, so anything would hit him by the Permission of Allah azwj. ث م ق ال ف ذ ا خ ر ج ت م ن م ن ز ل ف ق ل ب س م للا آم ن ت ب ا ل ل ت و ك ل ت ع ل ى للا ل ح و ل و ل ق و ة إ ل ب ا ل ل ف ن ال م ال ئ ك ة ت ض ر ب و ج و ه و آم ن ب ا ل ل و ت و ك ل ع ل ى للا و ق ال ل ح و ل و ل ق و ة إ ل ب ا ل ل. الش ي اط ين و ي ق ول ون ق د س م ى للا Then he asws said: So when you go out from your house, so say, In the Name of Allah azwj. I believe in Allah azwj. I rely upon Allah azwj. There is neither a Might or Strength except with Allah azwj, so the Angels would strike the faces of the devils and they would be saying: He has Named Allah azwj, and believed in Allah azwj, and relied upon Allah azwj, and said There is neither a Mighty nor Strength except with Allah azwj. 30 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ح د يد ع ن م ر از م ق ال ق ال ل ي أ ب و ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) إ ذ ا أ ر اد أ ح د ك م و ل ي ث ن ع ل ي ه و ل ي ص ل ع ل ى م ح م د و أ ه ل ب ي ت ه و ي ق ول الل ه م إ ن ك ان ه ذ ا ا ل م ر خ ي را ل ي ف ي ش ي ئا ف ل ي ص ل ر ك ع ت ي ن ث م ل ي ح م د للا د ين ي و د ن ي ا ف ي س ر ه ل ي و اق د ر ه و إ ن ك ان غ ي ر ذ ل ف اص ر ف ه ع ن ي Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Murazam who said, Abu Abdullah asws said to me: Whenever one of you intends something, so let him pray two Rak at of Salāt, then let him Praise Allah azwj and let him Laud upon Him azwj, and let him send Blessings upon Muhammad saww and the People asws of his saww Household, and he should be saying, O Allah azwj! If this matter was good for me in my Religion, and my world, so Make it easier for me; and if it was other than that, so Exchange it from me. ف س أ ل ت ه أ ش ي ء أ ق ر أ ف يه م ا ف ق ال اق ر أ ف يه م ا م ا ش ئ ت و إ ن ش ئ ت ق ر أ ت ف يه م ا ق ل ه و للا أ ح د و ق ل ي ا أ ي ه ا ال ك اف ر ون. So I asked him asws, Which thing should I recite in these two? So he asws said: Recite in these two whatever you so desire to, and if you so desire to, recite in these two [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112) and [109:1] Say: O you unbelievers! Chapter 109). 31 ع ل ي ب ن م ح م د ع ن س ه ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع يس ى ع ن ع م ر و ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن خ ل ف ب ن ح م اد ع ن إ س ح اق ب ن ع م ار ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د للا ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ل ت ل ه ر ب م ا أ ر د ت ا ل م ر ي ف ر ق م ن ي ف ر يق ان أ ح د ه م ا ي أ م ر ن ي و ا ل خ ر ي ن ه ان ي ق ال ف ق ال إ ذ ا م ائ ة م ر ة و م ر ة ث م ان ظ ر أ ح ز م ا ل م ر ي ن ل ف اف عل ه ف ن ال خ ي ر ة ف يه إ ن ش اء للا و ك ن ت ك ذ ل ف ص ل ر ك ع ت ي ن و اس ت خ ر للا ل ت ك ن اس ت خ ار ت ف ي ع اف ي ة ف ن ه ر ب م ا خ ير ل لر ج ل ف ي ق ط ع ي د ه و م و ت و ل د ه و ذ ه اب م ال ه.
