Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَنْسَى حَرْفاً مِنَ اَلْقُرْآنِ فَذَكَرَ وَ هُوَ رَاكِعٌ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهُ قَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ» وَ قَالَ« اَلرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَرَأَ« وَ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحٰاهٰا» فَيَخْتِمُهَا أَنْ يَقُولَ صَدَقَ اَللَّهُ وَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُهُ وَ اَلرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَرَأَ« آللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ أَمّٰا يُشْرِكُونَ» أَنْ يَقُولَ اَللَّهُ خَيْرٌ اَللَّهُ خَيْرٌ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ إِذَا قَرَأَ« ثُمَّ اَلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ» أَنْ يَقُولَ كَذَبَ اَلْعَادِلُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَ اَلرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَرَأَ« اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي اَلْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ اَلذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً» أَنْ يَقُولَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقُلِ اَلرَّجُلُ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا إِذَا قَرَأَ قَالَ« لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar ibn Musa: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said regarding a man who forgets a letter from the Qur'an and remembers it while he is bowing, is it permissible for him to recite it? Imam عليه السلام said: "No, but when he prostrates, let him recite it." And Imam عليه السلام said: "When a man recites ‘By the sun and its brightness’ (Surah Al-Shams), upon completing it, he should say: 'Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم have spoken the truth.' And when a man recites ‘Is Allah سبحانه وتعالى better, or what they associate with Him?’ (Surah An-Naml 27:59), he should say: 'Allah سبحانه وتعالى is better, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is better, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is greater.' And when he recites ‘Then those who disbelieve set equals with their Lord’ (Surah Al-An‘am 6:1), he should say: 'Those who set equals with Allah سبحانه وتعالى have lied.' And when he recites ‘Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who has not taken a son, and who has no partner in His dominion, nor any protector out of weakness, and glorify Him with great glorification’ (Surah Al-Isra’ 17:111), he should say: 'Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest.'" I asked: “What if a man does not say anything of this when he recites?” Imam عليه السلام said: "There is nothing upon him."
