Chapter on the Detailed Explanation of Prayer, Including the Obligatory and Recommended, and What is Permissible and Not Permissible.
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِنَّ اَللَّهَ فَرَضَ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلرُّكُوعَ وَ اَلسُّجُودَ أَ لاَ تَرَى لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً دَخَلَ فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ لاَ يُحْسِنُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ اَلْقُرْآنَ أَجْزَأَهُ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ وَ يُسَبِّحَ وَ يُصَلِّيَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from al-Nadr from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى has made bowing and prostration obligatory in the prayer. Do you not see that if a man enters Islam and does not know how to recite the Qur’an, it suffices him to say the Takbir, to glorify (Allah سبحانه وتعالى), and to pray?"
