Salah (Prayer) Is Made Obligatory (Chapters 3-15, practical rules about prayer are best expressed in the form of fatwa.)
2ـ وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ الَّذِي فَرَضَ الله عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَفِيهِنَّ الْقِرَاءَةُ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ وَهْمٌ يَعْنِي سَهْواً فَزَادَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) سَبْعاً وَفِيهِنَّ الْوَهْمُ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ قِرَاءَةٌ.
2. Through the chain of his narrators Hammad has narrated from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘Of Salah (prayer) Allah has made ten Rak‘at obligatory on His servants. In such Salah (prayer) there are the recitations; thus, conjectures, mistakes in such Salah (prayer) are not acceptable. The Messenger of Allah added seven Rak‘ats in which conjectures, mistakes are dealt with according to certain rules, but there are no recitations in them.’”
