[9] The Reason for loudness in some Salāts: الْعُيُونُ، وَ الْعِلَلُ، عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع مِنَ الْعِلَلِ قَالَ: فَإِنْ قَالَ لِمَ جَعَلَ الْجَهْرَ فِي بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ فِي بَعْضٍ (The books) ‘Al Uyoun’, and ‘Al Ilal’ – Abdul Wahid Bin Muhammad Bin Ubdous, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Quteyba, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, among what he reported, ‘From Al-Reza -asws from ‘Al-Ilal’, he -asws said (in argumentation), ‘If he says, ‘Why has loudness made to be in some of the Salāts and not made in some?’ قِيلَ لِأَنَّ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ صَلَوَاتٌ تُصَلَّى فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَوَجَبَ أَنْ يُجْهَرَ فِيهِمَا لِأَنْ يَمُرَّ الْمَارُّ فَيَعْلَمَ أَنَّ هَاهُنَا جَمَاعَةً فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ صَلَّى It will be said, ‘Because the Salāts which there is loudness in these, rather these are Salāts you pray in timings of darkness, so it is obligatory to be loud in these two, because a passer-by would pass by, he comes to know that there is a congregation over there.
If he wants to pray Salāt, he can pray. وَ لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَرَ جَمَاعَةً تُصَلِّي سَمِعَ وَ عَلِمَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ جِهَةِ السَّمَاعِ وَ الصَّلَاتَانِ اللَّتَانِ لَا يُجْهَرُ فِيهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا بِالنَّهَارِ وَ فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُضِيئَةٍ فَهِيَ تُدْرَكُ مِنْ جِهَةِ الرُّؤْيَةِ فَلَا يَحْتَاجُ فِيهَا إِلَى السَّمَاعِ.
And because if he does not see a congregation, he would hear and know that from an aspect of the hearing; and those two Salāt having no loudness in them, these are at daytime and in timings of brightness. These are realised from aspect of the seeing, so he is not needy in these to the listening’’.
[10] الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ عَنْ مُوسَى أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَخَاهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فِيمَا سَأَلَ عَنْهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَكْثَمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ لِمَ يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَ هِيَ مِنْ صَلَوَاتِ النَّهَارِ وَ إِنَّمَا يُجْهَرُ فِي صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ (The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from his father, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Ali Bin Bashar, from Musa, ‘He asked his brother Ali -asws Bin Muhammad -asws .
Among what Yahya Bin Aksam asked about Al Fajr Salāt, ‘Why should one be loud with the recitation in it and it is from the Salāts of the day, and rather he should be loud in Salāt of the night’.
