Chapter on the Detailed Explanation of Prayer, Including the Obligatory and Recommended, and What is Permissible and Not Permissible.

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَسْهُو عَنِ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ فَيَذْكُرُ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ قَالَ« أَتَمَّ اَلرُّكُوعَ وَ اَلسُّجُودَ» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ« إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ آخِرَ صَلاَتِي أَوَّلَهَا»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa and Fadalah from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: I asked: "A man forgets the recitation in the first two rak’ahs, and then remembers during the last two that he did not recite." Imam عليه السلام said: "Did he complete the bowing and the prostration?" I said: "Yes." Imam عليه السلام said: "I dislike to make the end of my prayer the beginning of it."
