اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَلظُّهْرِ قَالَ« تُسَبِّحُ وَ تُحَمِّدُ اَللَّهَ وَ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِذَنْبِكَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهَا تَحْمِيدٌ وَ دُعَاءٌ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from al-Halabi, from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about the last two rak‘ahs of Dhuhr. Imam عليه السلام said: “You glorify (‘tusabbih’), praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى (‘tuhammid’), and seek forgiveness for your sins. And if you wish, recite the Opening of the Book (‘Surat al-Fatihah’), for it is praise and supplication.”
