Seeking the Place to Relieve Oneself and the Etiquettes of Entering and Exiting
وَ سَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فِي اَلْمَخْرَجِ وَ قِرَاءَةِ اَلْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ «لَمْ يُرَخَّصْ فِي اَلْكَنِيفِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آيَةِ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ وَ يَحْمَدَ اَللَّهَ أَوْ آيَةِ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ.
Omar ibn Yazid asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the recitation of supplications in the restroom and reading the Qur'an. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not permitted to recite more than the Ayat al-Kursi or to praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى (by saying) 'All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the worlds' while in the restroom."
