You -asws wrote to Muhammad Bin Al-Faraj teaching him that the most superior of what one can recite during the Obligatory ( Salāt ) is with ‘We -azwj Revealed it’ (Chapter 97), and ‘Say He -azwj Allah -azwj is One’ (Chapter 112), and my chest is constricted by reciting these two during Al-Fajr ( Salāt )’. So he -asws said: ‘Do not constrict your chest by these two, for the merit, by Allah -azwj , is in these two’.
[13] Loud Recitation (during the darkness): وَ أَمَّا صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ وَ الْجَهْرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يُغَلِّسُ بِهَا فَقِرَاءَتُهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ And as for Salāt Al-Fajr, and being loud in it with the recitation, because the Prophet -saww would pray at ‘Ghalas’ (end of night beginning of morning). He -asws would recite it from that night.
(An extract) [14] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْقُنُوتِ فِي الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ فَقَالَ اقْنُتْ فِيهِنَّ جَمِيعاً قَالَ Muhammad Bin Yahya, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, and Safwan Bin Yahya, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws about the Qunut during the five (Obligatory) Salāt s.
So he -asws said: ‘Perform Qunut in the entirety of these’. وَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْقُنُوتِ فَقَالَ لِي أَمَّا مَا جَهَرْتَ فَلَا تَشُكَّ . He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked Abu Abdullah -asws after that, about the Qunut , so he -asws said to me: ‘As for what you say it loudly, so you would not be in doubt’.
[15] Parts of Salāt Which are Accepted عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ وَ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا يُكْتَبُ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا مَا أَسْمَعَ نَفْسَهُ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina and In Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Nothing is recorded (accepted) from the reading and supplication except what he hears himself.’.
