وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فِي اَلْمَخْرَجِ وَ قِرَاءَةِ اَلْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ« لَمْ يُرَخَّصْ فِي اَلْكَنِيفِ فِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آيَةِ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ وَ يَحْمَدُ اَللَّهَ أَوْ آيَةٍ».
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid, from Muhammad ibn Umar ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn 'Udhafir, from Umar ibn Yazid:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about reciting tasbih (praises of Allah سبحانه وتعالى) and reading the Quran in the restroom. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not permitted in the lavatory to recite more than Ayat al-Kursi, or to praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى, or to recite a verse."
