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

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« لاَ تُجْزِي صَلاَةٌ لاَ يُصِيبُ اَلْأَنْفُ مَا يُصِيبُ اَلْجَبِينُ»
As for what was narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ammar from (Imam) Ja'far عليه السلام from his father عليه السلام, peace be upon them both: (Imam عليه السلام) said: “(Imam) Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: ‘The prayer is not sufficient if the nose does not touch what the forehead touches’."
