Hadith.1348 - In the book of Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, it is reported that Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The minimum that suffices for the prayer during close combat (al-musayafa) is two takbirs (proclamations of 'Allahu Akbar') for each prayer, except for the Maghrib prayer, for which there are three takbirs."

«إِذَا اِلْتَقَوْا فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَإِنَّمَا اَلصَّلاَةُ حِينَئِذٍ تَكْبِيرٌ وَ إِذَا كَانُوا وُقُوفاً لاَ يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى اَلْجَمَاعَةِ فَالصَّلاَةُ إِيمَاءٌ.

قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِذَا تَوَسَّدَ الرَّجُلُ يَمِينَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَجَّهْتُ‌

Hadith.1351 - Al-'Ala reported from Muhammad ibn Muslim that Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said to me: "When a man places his right side (for sleep), he should say: 'In the Name of Allah (swt).

إِذَا خِفْتَ الْجَنَابَةَ فَقُلْ فِي فِرَاشِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الِاحْتِلَامِ وَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْأَحْلَامِ وَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَلَاعَبَ بِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ وَ الْمَنَامِ.

"If you fear experiencing a state of janabah (ritual impurity) during sleep, say in your bed: 'O’ Allah (swt), I seek refuge with You from experiencing a wet dream, from evil dreams, and from being manipulated by Shaytan (the devil) in wakefulness and in sleep.'"

وَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَخَافُ الْجَنَابَةَ فِي السَّفَرِ أَوْ فِي الْبَرْدِ فَيُعَجِّلُ صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ وَ الْوَتْرَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ.

إِذَا غَلَبَ الرَّجُلَ النَّوْمُ وَ هُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَضَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَنَمْ فَإِنِّي أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْنِي النَّارَ.

"If a man is overcome by sleep while he is in prayer, let him put his head down and sleep, for I fear that if he wishes to say, 'O’ Allah (swt), admit me to Paradise,' he might instead say, 'O’ Allah (swt), admit me to the Fire.'"

Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Go and give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of our household and for the servants. Include all of them and do not leave anyone out. If you leave out even one person, I fear for them the 'fawt' (loss)." I asked: "What is 'fawt'?" Imam (as) replied: "Death."
