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
وَ رُوِيَ:« أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْهَا اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مَرَّةً وَ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» ثَلاَثِينَ مَرَّةً اِنْفَتَلَ وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَنْبٌ إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ»
And it has been narrated: “That whoever recites in the first two rak‘ahs of the night prayer, ‘Al-Hamdulillah’ once in each rak‘ah, and ‘Surah Al-Ikhlas’ thirty times, then he finishes his prayer, there will remain no sin between him and Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, except that it will be forgiven for him.”
