Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 23
1ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأخِيرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ الإِمَامُ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَمَنْ خَلْفَهُ يُسَبِّحُ فَإِذَا كُنْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَاقْرَأْ فِيهِمَا وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَسَبِّحْ.
1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about reading in the case of one who performs behind an Imam in last two Rak‘at. He (the Imam) said, ‘He reads al-Fatihah al-Kitab and everyone behind him reads Tasbih. When performing Salah (prayer) alone, read (al-Fatihah) in the two last Rak‘at or say Tasbih if you like.’”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأخِيرَتَيْنِ قَالَ أَنْ تَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ الله وَالْحَمْدُ لله وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَالله أَكْبَرُ وَتُكَبِّرُ وَتَرْكَعُ.
2. Muhammad ibn Ismail reported from Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Hammād ibn 'Isa, from Hariz, from Zurārah, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far al-Baqir عليه السلام: "What is sufficient to say in the last two rak'ahs?" He said: "You should say: 'Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.' Then you should say the Takbir and bow."
