رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَسْبَغَ اَلْوُضُوءَ وَ اِفْتَتَحَ اَلصَّلاَةَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِتَسْلِيمَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً اِنْفَتَلَ حِينَ يَنْفَتِلُ وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَنْبٌ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ لَهُ.
Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "Whoever performs ablution and completes it thoroughly, then begins the prayer and prays four units (rak'ahs), separating each two with a taslim (salutation), and recites in each rak'ah the Opening of the Book (Surah al-Fatiha) once and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) fifty times, he will finish his prayer with nothing between him and Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, except that his sins will be forgiven."

وَ أَمَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ اَلْعَيَّاشِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ فَقَدْ رَوَى فِي كِتَابِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ اَلسِّمَاكِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَرَأَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِخَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ » كَانَتْ صَلاَةَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هِيَ صَلاَةُ اَلْأَوَّابِينَ.
Muhammad ibn Mas'ud al-Ayyashi, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him, narrated in his book from Abdullah ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn al-Samak, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "Whoever prays four rak'ahs (units of prayer) and recites in each rak'ah 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) fifty times, it is the Prayer of Sayyida Fatimah Al-Zahra صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and it is the prayer of those who turn to Allah سبحانه وتعالى in repentance (al-Awwabin)."

وكان شيخنا محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد رضي الله عنه يروي هذه الصلاة وثوابها إلا أنه كان يقول: إني لا أعرفها بصلاة فاطمة عليها السلام، وأما أهل الكوفة فإنهم يعرفونها بصلاة فاطمة عليها السلام. وقد روى هذه الصلاة وثوابها أبو بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام.
Our teacher, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Walid, used to narrate this prayer and its reward, but he would say: 'I do not recognize it as the Prayer of Sayyida Fatimah Al-Zahra صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.' However, the people of Kufa know it as the Prayer of Sayyida Fatimah Al-Zahra صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. This prayer and its reward is narrated by Abu Basir from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام.
