وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ:« وَ فَسَّرَهُنَّ فِي اَلظُّهْرِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرُونَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ فِي اَلْعَصْرِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرُونَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ فِي اَلْمَغْرِبِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ فِي اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرُونَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ فِي اَلْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ خَمْسُ تَكْبِيرَاتِ اَلْقُنُوتِ فِي خَمْسِ صَلَوَاتٍُ»
