Hadith 14

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – from Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan, from his grandfather, ‘Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about a man who begins the Salat, so he recites the Chapter and does not recite Surah Al-Fatiha with it, ‘Would it suffice him if he does that deliberately being out of haste? ’
He-asws said: ‘He cannot deliberate with that. If he has forgotten, he should recite it in the second (Cycle), it would suffice him’. And I asked him-asws about the man reciting Surah Al-Fatiha in the obligatory Salat, and another Chapter in one breath, ‘Is that correct, or what is upon him if he does so? ’
He-asws said: ‘If he so desires, he can recite it in one breath, and if he so desires, in another (breath), there is no problem’. And I asked him-asws about the man reciting in his Salat, ‘Does it suffice him if he does not move his tongue and he imagines in imagination? ’
He-asws said: ‘There is no problem’. And I asked him-asws about the man praying Salat, ‘Is it for him if he recites in the obligatory Salat, so he passes by a Verse wherein is a scare (of Hell or Punishment), so he cries and repeats the Verse? ’
He-asws said: ‘He can repeat the Quran for as long as he like, and even if the crying comes to him, there is no problem’. And I asked him-asws about the man reciting one Chapter in the two Cycles of the obligatory Salat and (even though) he is good at others, ‘If he were to do so, what is upon him? ’
He-asws said: ‘When he is good at others, he should not do so, and if he is not good at others, there is no problem, and if he does so, there is nothing upon him, but he should not repeat (doing such)’. And I asked him-asws about a man praying Salat of the two Eids alone, or the Friday, ‘Should he be loud with the recitation in it? ’
He-asws said: ‘No one should be loud except the prayer leader’’. He said, ‘And my brother-asws said: ‘O Ali! With what (recitation) do you pray Salat during the night of Friday? ’
I said, ‘With Surah Al-Jummah, and Surah Munafiqoun’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws saw my-asws father-asws praying Salat during the night of Friday with (reciting) Surah Al-Jummah and Surah Al-A’ala, and during the Friday with Surah Al Jummah and Surah Al-Munafiqoun’’. [27]
Clarification (Ahadeeth only) – And he said in ‘Al-Zikra’ – It is reported in ‘Al-Tahzeeb’, from Zurara, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Can I pray Salat with Surah Al-Tawheed? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, Rasool-Allah-saww had prayed so in both the Cycles with Surah Al-Tawheed. No one had prayed before it, nor after it with Surah Al-Tawheed, more completely than him-saww’’. And it is reported by the Sheykh in ‘Al-Mabsout’, and it is in a Hadeeth by Rabie and Hareez, ‘They both raised it to Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When it were to be the night of Friday, it is recommended to recite Surah Al-Jummah in Al-Atma (Al Isha Salat) and Surah Al-Munafiqoun, and in the morning Salat similar to that’’.
