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

رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُعَادُ اَلصَّلاَةُ إِلاَّ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ اَلطَّهُورِ وَاَلْوَقْتِ وَاَلْقِبْلَةِ وَاَلرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ« اَلْقِرَاءَةُ سُنَّةٌ وَ اَلتَّشَهُّدُ سُنَّةٌ فَلاَ تَنْقُضُ اَلسُّنَّةُ اَلْفَرِيضَةَ»
Zurarah narrated from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام that Imam عليه السلام said: "Prayer is not repeated except for five things: purification, time, direction of the Qiblah, bowing, and prostration." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "Recitation is Sunnah, and tashahhud is Sunnah, so the Sunnah does not invalidate the obligation."
