Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَادَوَيْهِ[ زَادَوَيْهِ خ ل] عَنِ اِبْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفَرَجِ تُعْلِمُهُ أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا يُقْرَأُ فِي اَلْفَرَائِضِ« إِنّٰا أَنْزَلْنٰاهُ» وَ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» وَ إِنَّ صَدْرِي لَيَضِيقُ بِقِرَاءَتِهِمَا فِي اَلْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« لاَ يَضِيقَنَّ صَدْرُكَ بِهِمَا فَإِنَّ اَلْفَضْلَ وَ اَللَّهِ فِيهِمَا»
Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Abdus from Muhammad ibn Zadawayh from Ibn Rashid who said:
I said to Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “May I be your ransom, you wrote to Muhammad ibn Al-Faraj informing him that the best of what is recited in the obligatory prayers is ‘Surah Al-Qadr’ and ‘Surah Al-Ikhlas’, but my chest feels tight when reciting them at Fajr.” Imam عليه السلام said: "Do not let your chest be tight with them, for by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the virtue lies within them."
