Chapter on the Detailed Explanation of Prayer, Including the Obligatory and Recommended, and What is Permissible and Not Permissible.
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْقُنُوتِ فِي اَلْفَجْرِ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَاقْنُتْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَلاَ تَقْنُتْ وَ قَالَ« هُوَ إِذَا كَانَ تَقِيَّةً فَلاَ تَقْنُتْ وَ أَنَا أَتَقَلَّدُ هَذَا» وقد استوفينا القنوت وما يتعلق باحكامه فيما مضى مستوفى وفيه غنى ان شاء الله تعالى
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from him, who said:
Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام said to me regarding the ‘qunut’ in the Fajr prayer: "If you wish, then perform the ‘qunut’, and if you wish, then do not perform it." And Imam عليه السلام said: "When there is ‘taqiyyah’ (precautionary dissimulation), then do not perform the ‘qunut’, and I personally adopt this."
