1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Salah (prayer) but when he raises his head from the second Sajdah (prostration) of the fourth Rak’at his Wudu’ becomes invalid. He (the Imam) said, ’His Salah (prayer) is ended; what remains is Tashahhud (testimonies of belief). Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) is Sunnah (a tradition) in Salah (prayer). He takes wudu,’ returns to his place or a clean place to say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief).”’
[1]الظاهر أن الحدث الصادر بعد الفراغ من أركان الصلاة التي ظهر وجوبها بالقرآن لا يبطل الصلاة كما يدلّ كثير من الاخبار عليه و ظاهر الكليني- قدّس سرّه- قائل به و نسبها شيخنا البهائى- رحمه اللّه- الى الصدوق- رحمة اللّه عليه- فالمراد بالسنة ما ظهر وجوبه بالسنة.( آت)ص 346

Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ’He moves to take Wudu’ and if he wants to return to Masjid or if he wants in his house, sits down to say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) and the phrase of offering greeting of peace. If his Wudu’ becomes invalid after Tashahhud (testimonies of belief), his Salah (prayer) is passed.’”

[1]ما في الالواح أي ألواح موسى كما في الخبر الآتي.ص 225
[2]لعل المراد: أن العلم ليس ما يحصل بالسماع و قراءة الكتب و حفظها فان ذلك تقليد و انما العلم ما يفيض من عند اللّه سبحانه على قلب المؤمن يوما فيوما و ساعة فساعة، فينكشف به من الحقائق ما تطمئن به النفس و ينشرح له الصدر و يتنور به القلب و يتحقّق به العالم كأنّه ينظر إليه و يشاهده.( فى)ص 225

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu Zahir or another man from Muhammad ibn Hammad from his brother Ahmad ibn Hammad from Ibrahim from his father who has said the following. “I said to abu al-Hassan al-Thani (a.s.), ““May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, “Would you tell me about the Prophet who inherited all the prophets.” The Imams (a.s.) said, “Yes, I may do so. I asked, “Did he inherit from Adam up to his-self?” The Imams (a.s.) said, “Of prophet that Allah sent Prophet Muhammad (s.a.) was more knowledgeable.” I then said, “Jesus son of Mary would bring the dead to life by the permission of Allah.” The Imams (a.s.) said, “You spoke the truth. Solomon son of David could understand the language of the birds. The Holy Prophet (s.a.) was also capable of doing such things.” The narrator has said that The Imams (a.s.) then said, “Solomon son of David said to the (Hoopoe) Hud Hud when he found him missing and had doubts about the bird. “(Solomon) inspected the birds and said, “How is it that I cannot see the hoopoe {when he did not find him present and became angry}. Is he absent? (27:20). I shall certainly punish him severely or slaughter him unless he has a good reason for his absence.” (27:21) He became angry because the bird would show him how to find water. This is only a bird but is given something that is not given to Solomon. The wind, ants, man, Jinn, devils, and the rebbles obey him in submission but he did not know about the water in the space but the bird knew it as Allah says in His book. “Even if the Quran would make mountains move, cut the earth into pieces and make the dead able to speak,. .” (13:31) We have inherited this Quran which contains such things that can make the mountains move, cross the lands, and make the dead to come to life. We know there is water in space. In the book of Allah, there are verses that are indecative of certain issues only if Allah would give permission. This is along with the fact that Allah sometimes grants permission to make use of the things that people of the past had written. Allah has set them for us in the origin of the book as Allah says, “All the secrets in heavens and earth are recorded in the illustrious Book. (27:75) Then Allah has said, “We gave the Book as an inheritance to Our chosen servants,. .” (35:32) We are the ones whom Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has chosen and has given this which contain the explanation of all things.”
[3]الرعد: 30« وَ لَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآناً سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبالُ» يعنى لو كان شيء من القرآن كذلك لكان هذا القرآن كذا في تفسير عليّ بن إبراهيم رحمه اللّه. و تقطيع الأرض قطعها بالسير و الطى، الا أن يأذن اللّه به أي يسهله اللّه بسببها مع ما يسهله ممّا في الكتب السالفة.( فى)ص 226
