Reading in the Last Two Rak‘at and Tasbih Therein

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.’”
