1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ فِي صَلاَةِ الشُّكْرِ إِذَا أَنْعَمَ الله عَلَيْكَ بِنِعْمَةٍ فَصلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الأولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَتَقْرَأُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَتَقُولُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأولَى فِي رُكُوعِكَ وَسُجُودِكَ الْحَمْدُ لله شُكْراً شُكْراً وَحَمْداً وَتَقُولُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي رُكُوعِكَ وَسُجُودِكَ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي اسْتَجَابَ دُعَائِي وَأَعْطَانِي مَسْأَلَتِي.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Abu Isma’il al-Sarraj from Harun ibn Kharijah that Abi 'Abdillah (al-Saduq) عليه السلام said regarding Salat al-Shukr (prayer of gratitude): "When Allah grants you a bounty, you should perform a two Rak'ah (unit) prayer. In the first Rak'ah recite Surah al-Fatiha and Surah al-Ikhlas. In the second Rak'ah, recite Sura al-Fatiha and Surah al-Kafiroon. In Ruku’ (bowing) and sajdah (prostration) of the first Rak'ah say: 'Praise be to God with, thanks (be to Him), thanks (be to Him) and praise (be to Him).' In Ruku' and Sujood of your second Rak'ah, you should say: 'Praise be to God who answered my prayer and gave me what I asked of Him.'"
