وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ اَلنَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ كَمْ يُجْزِي فِيهِ مِنَ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فَقَالَ« ثَلاَثَةٌ وَ تُجْزِيكَ وَاحِدَةٌ إِذَا أَمْكَنْتَ جَبْهَتَكَ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ»
And from him, from Ayyub ibn Nuh al-Nakha‘i from Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah from Ali ibn Yaqtin from Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal عليه السلام (peace be upon him), he said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about ‘ruku’ and ‘sujud’, how much ‘tasbih’ suffices in them? Imam عليه السلام said: “Three, and one suffices you if you have firmly placed your forehead on the ground.”
