مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ اَلسَّرَّاجِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي فِي صَلاَةِ اَلشُّكْرِ« إِذَا أَنْعَمَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكَ بِنِعْمَةٍ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي اَلْأُولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» وَ تَقْرَأُ فِي اَلثَّانِيَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ «قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلْكٰافِرُونَ» وَ تَقُولُ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلْأُولَى فِي رُكُوعِكَ وَ سُجُودِكَ: اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شُكْراً شُكْراً وَ حَمْداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلثَّانِيَةِ فِي رُكُوعِكَ وَ سُجُودِكَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي اِسْتَجَابَ دُعَائِي وَ أَعْطَانِي مَسْأَلَتِي»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Ismail from Abu Ismail al-Sarraj from Harun ibn Kharijah from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said to me regarding the ‘Prayer of Gratitude’ (salat al-shukr): “When Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, bestows a blessing upon you, then pray two units (rak’ahs). In the first, recite the ‘Fatihat al-Kitab’ (Surah al-Fatihah) and ‘Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad’ (Surah Ikhlas) And in the second (rak’ah), recite the ‘Fatihat al-Kitab’ (Surah al-Fatihah) and ‘Qul Ya Ayyuha al-Kafirun’ (Surah al-Kafirun). In the first rak’ah, during your bowing (rukuh) and prostration (sujud), say: ‘All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى thanks, thanks, and praise.’ And in the second rak’ah, during your bowing and prostration, say: ‘All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى who answered my supplication and granted me my request.’”
