وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلتَّكْبِيرَةُ اَلْوَاحِدَةُ فِي اِفْتِتَاحِ اَلصَّلاَةِ تُجْزِي وَ اَلثَّلاَثُ أَفْضَلُ وَ اَلسَّبْعُ أَفْضَلُ كُلِّهِ»
And from him, from Ibn Abi Umayr from ‘Umar ibn Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim:
Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The single Takbir at the opening of the prayer suffices, and three is better, and seven is the best of all.”
