اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ وَاَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْ بَعْدَ اَلتَّسْلِيمِ« اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ« لاٰ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اَللّٰهُ» وَحْدَهُ« لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ»« لَهُ اَلْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ اَلْحَمْدُ»« يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ» وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ اَلْخَيْرُ« وَ هُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ هَزَمَ اَلْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ اَللَّهُمَّ اِهْدِنِي لِمَا اُخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ اَلْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd and al-Hasan ibn Sa‘id from Zur‘ah from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “Say after the tasleem (concluding the prayer), ‘Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him سبحانه وتعالى belongs all praise. He سبحانه وتعالى gives life and causes death, and He سبحانه وتعالى is the Living who does not die. In His سبحانه وتعالى hand is all good, and He has power over all things. There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone. He سبحانه وتعالى fulfilled His سبحانه وتعالى promise, and aided His سبحانه وتعالى servant, and defeated the confederates alone. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, guide me to the truth concerning that in which there is disagreement, by Your سبحانه وتعالى permission. Indeed, You سبحانه وتعالى guide whom You سبحانه وتعالى will to the straight path."
