رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَكُونُ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ فَأَفْرُغُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِهِ قَالَ« فَأَتِمَّ اَلسُّورَةَ وَ مَجِّدِ اَللَّهَ وَ أَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Said from Safwan, from Ibn Bukayr, from Umar ibn Abi Shubah, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said:
I said to Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام: “I am with the imam (of prayer), and I finish before he finishes his recitation.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Then complete the Surah and glorify Allah سبحانه وتعالى and praise Him عز وجل until he finishes.”
