Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Explanation of the Fifty-One Rak‘ahs; The Order, Recitation, Tasbih in Bowing and Prostration, Qunut, and What is Obligatory and Recommended Therein
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا كُنْتَ إِمَاماً فَاقْرَأْ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ بِفَاتِحَةِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَيَسَعُكَ فَعَلْتَ أَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Safwan, from Mansur ibn Hazim:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “If you are an imam (of prayer), then recite the Opening of the Book (‘Surat al-Fatihah’) in the last two rak‘ahs. And if you are alone, then it is permissible whether you do so or not.”
