"We did not pray" (74:43), means 'We did not follow the lead.

"We did not pray" (74:43), means 'We did not follow the lead.'" As you can see without the Wilayah of the Holy Infallibles (a.s.), all actions are futile. One thing is for certain. If any of the Holy Infallibles (a.s.) used to pray with bearing of the third testimony, then that should put an end to all arguments.

Tashahhud Of The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) [Shakir 17:110] Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent Allah; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these.

It is written in Tafseer Ayyashi that Abu Hamza Al Thumali has narrated from the Holy Imam Muhammad Al Baqir (a.s.) that the words, 'and do not utter your prayer with a raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these', the Tafseer (explanation) of this is that 'Do not say the Wilayah of Ali (a.s) with a raised voice until an Order comes to you regarding it; and do not be silent with regard to it, meaning, do not conceal it, and I Know about its honourable status.' This has also been quoted in many other thousand year old commentaries like Tafseer Al Safi, Burhan, Noor Us Thaqalayn, Basaair U Darajaat etc.

A congregational Prayer took place in the Heavens above by the Prophets led by their Master the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). AL YAQEEN - SYED IBN TAWOOS - 589 TO 684 AH Imam Ali the Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) has related that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) prayed with the prophets of the night of the Ascension (Me'raaj) by the Order of Allah (s.w.t.). They asked him: 'How shall we bear the testimonies?' He (s.a.w.) turned towards them and said: 'How shall you bear the testimonies?

Say - 'We testify that there is no God but Allah the One without any partner, and you are the Messenger of Allah and Ali is the Commander of the faithful and your Trustee. These testimonies were taken as covenant from them'.
