Hadith.1000 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bazanti asked Imam al-Ridha (as) about a man who forgot to say the Takbir al-Ihram (opening Takbir) until he had already said the Takbir for bowing (ruku'). Imam (as) replied: "It suffices him”.

لَهُ رَجُلٌ نَسِيَ أَوَّلَ تَكْبِيرَةِ الِافْتِتَاحِ فَقَالَ إِنْ ذَكَرَهَا قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَ إِنْ ذَكَرَهَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَهَا فِي مَقَامِهِ فِي مَوْضِعِ التَّكْبِيرِ قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ أَوْ بَعْدَ الْقِرَاءَةِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَلْيَقْضِهَا[4] وَ لَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ.

"I asked about a man who forgot the first Takbir of the prayer (Takbir al-Ihram). Imam (as) said: 'If he remembers it before the bowing (ruku'), he should say the Takbir, then recite, and then perform the ruku'. If he remembers it during the prayer, he should say the Takbir at the place of the Takbir, whether before or

Hadith.1002 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "When you say the Takbir at the beginning of your prayer after the opening Takbir (Takbir al-Ihram), if you say twenty-one Takbirs and then forget the remaining Takbirs, or fail to say them, the first Takbir will suffice for all the T

Hadith.1003 - Hariz narrated from Zurarah, from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding a man who recites aloud (Jahr) where it should not be done, or recites silently (ikhfāʾ) where it should be recited aloud. Imam (as) said: "Whoever does this deliberately has invalidated his prayer and must repeat it. However,

لَهُ أَسْهُو عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى قَالَ اقْرَأْ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ- قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسْهُو فِي الثَّانِيَةِ قَالَ اقْرَأْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسْهُو فِي صَلَاتِي كُلِّهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا حَفِظْتَ الرُّكُوعَ وَ السُّجُودَ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُكَ.

Hadith.1004 - Hussain ibn Hammad narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that a man said to him: "I forget the recitation in the first rak'ah." Imam (as) said: "Recite in the second." The man then said: "I forget in the second rak'ah as well." Imam (as) said: "Recite in the third." The man said: "I forget t

إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَرَضَ الرُّكُوعَ وَ السُّجُودَ وَ الْقِرَاءَةُ سُنَّةٌ[1] فَمَنْ تَرَكَ الْقِرَاءَةَ مُتَعَمِّداً أَعَادَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ مَنْ نَسِيَ فَلَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ.

Hadith.1005 – Zurarah narrated from one of the Imams that He said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has made ruku' (bowing) and Sujood (prostration) obligatory, while recitation is a Sunnah. Whoever intentionally leaves out the recitation must repeat the prayer, but if someone forgets, there is no fault upon

Hadith.1006 - Al-‘Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "If a man doubts after prostrating that he has not bowed (rak'a), he should continue with his prayer until he is certain that he did not bow. If he becomes certain that he did not bow, then he should perform

إِذَا نَسِيتَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رُكُوعاً أَوْ سُجُوداً أَوْ تَكْبِيراً ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتَ فَاقْضِ الَّذِي فَاتَكَ سَهْواً[3].

Hadith.1007 - Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "If you forget something in the prayer, whether it is bowing, prostration, or takbir, and then remember it, make up for what you missed due to forgetfulness”.

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَمَّنْ نَسِيَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ وَاحِدَةً فَذَكَرَهَا وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ قَالَ يَسْجُدُهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا وَ لَمْ يَرْكَعْ فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ رَكَعَ فَلْيَمْضِ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ قَضَاهَا وَحْدَهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ سَهْوٌ[4].

"I asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about someone who forgot to perform one prostration and remembered it while standing. Imam (as) said: 'He should perform it when he remembers, as long as he hasn't yet bowed. If he has already bowed, he should continue his prayer and, when he finishes, he should perform th

لَا يُعِيدُ صَلَاتَهُ مِنْ سَجْدَةٍ وَ يُعِيدُهَا مِنْ رَكْعَةٍ[6].

Hadith.1009 - Mansour ibn Hazim asked Imam (as) about a person who prayed and then remembered that he had added an extra prostration. Imam (as) said: "He does not need to repeat his prayer due to the extra prostration, but he must repeat it from the point of the ruku' (bowing)”. 1010 1010 - وَ رَوَى عَامِرُ بْنُ جُذَاع

Hadith.1011 - Ali ibn Nu'man al-Razi narrated that He said: I was traveling with some companions, and I was their Imam (leading the prayer). I led them in Maghrib prayer and mistakenly ended the prayer after two units (rak'ahs). My companions told me that I had only led them in two rak'ahs. We discussed it among oursel

Hadith.1013 - Ubayd ibn Zurarah asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about a man who prays the Fajr prayer, offering one rak'ah, then makes the tashahhud (testification), turns away (ends the prayer), and leaves. After some time, he remembers that he only prayed one rak'ah. He asked what should he do. Imam (as)

وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ انْصِرَافٌ هُوَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا قُلْتَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَهُوَ انْصِرَافٌ‌[3].

Hadith.1014 - Abu Kahmas asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the two rak'ahs of prayer when, after sitting in the tashahhud position, he says: "As-Salamu Alayka Ayyuha An-Nabi wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh" (Peace be upon you, O’ Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (swt) and His blessings). Is this considered

Hadith.1015 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "If you do not know whether you prayed two rak'ahs or four, and your doubt does not lead you to any conclusion, then perform the tashahhud and give the salaam, then pray two more rak'ahs with four prostrations. In them, recite Al-

Hadith.1016 - Jamil ibn Darraj narrated from him (as) that He said: "If a man prays five rak'ahs and sits in the fourth rak'ah for the duration of the tashahhud, then his worship is valid."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْساً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَدْرِي جَلَسَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ[4] أَمْ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْهَا الظُّهْرَ وَ يَجْلِسُ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ فَيُضِيفُهُمَا إِلَى الْخَامِسَةِ[5] فَتَكُونُ نَافِلَةً.

"I asked him about a man who prayed Dhuhr five rak'ahs. He said: 'If he does not know whether he sat in the fourth rak'ah or not, let him treat it as four rak'ahs for the Dhuhr prayer, then he should sit, perform the tashahhud, and then pray two rak'ahs while sitting and perform four sajdahs. He should then add these t

Hadith.1018 - Al-Fudail ibn Yasar asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about forgetfulness in prayer. Imam said: "Whoever remembers his forgetfulness and corrects it, there is no need for him to perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness (Sajdatay al-Sahw). However, forgetfulness applies to the one who does n

Hadith.1020 - Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated that Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) was asked about a man who entered the prayer with the Imam and was already behind by one rak'ah. When the Imam completed the prayer and left with the congregation, the man remembered that he had missed one rak'ah. Imam (as) said: "He sh

Hadith.1022 - It was narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamza that he asked the Righteous Servant (Imam Musa al-Kadhim (as)) about a man who doubts and does not know whether he has prayed one, two, three, or four units (rak'ahs) of prayer. His prayer becomes confusing for him. Imam said: "All of that [doubt] applies." I said: "

"Abul Hasan al-Awwal (as) said to me: 'When you are in doubt, rely on what you are certain of.' I said: 'Is this a principle?' Imam (as) said: 'Yes.'

At the time of his departure (
