سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْقَوْلِ فِي اَلتَّشَهُّدِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ قَالَ« تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ» قُلْتُ فَمَا يُجْزِي مِنْ تَشَهُّدِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ« اَلشَّهَادَتَانِ»
Sa‘d ibn Abdillah, from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Hariz ibn Abdillah, from Zurarah, who said: I said to Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “What suffices to be said in the ‘tashahhud’ of the first two rak‘ahs?” Imam عليه السلام said: “You say: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lah’.” I said: “And what suffices in the ‘tashahhud’ of the last two rak‘ahs?” Imam عليه السلام said: “The two testimonies.”
