1533 - رَوَى أَبُو حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ «يَا جَعْفَرُ أَ لاَ أَمْنَحُكَ أَ لاَ أُعْطِيكَ أَ لاَ أَحْبُوكَ أَ لاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ صَلاَةً إِذَا أَنْتَ صَلَّيْتَهَا لَوْ كُنْتَ فَرَرْتَ مِنَ اَلزَّحْفِ وَ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِثْلُ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَ زَبَدِ اَلْبَحْرِ ذُنُوباً غُفِرَتْ لَكَ » قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ قَالَ «تُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ إِذَا شِئْتَ إِنْ شِئْتَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَمِنْ جُمُعَةٍ إِلَى جُمُعَةٍ، وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَمِنْ شَهْرٍ إِلَى شَهْرٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَمِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَى سَنَةٍ تَفْتَتِحُ اَلصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً تَقُولُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ اَلْفَاتِحَةَ وَ سُورَةً وَ تَرْكَعُ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ فِي رُكُوعِكَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي سُجُودِكَ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَنْهَضُ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةً ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَتَشَهَّدُ وَ تُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ تَقُومُ وَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَاوَيْنِ تَصْنَعُ فِيهِمَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمُ» قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَذَلِكَ خَمْسٌ وَ سَبْعُونَ مَرَّةً فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ تَسْبِيحَةٍ تَكُونُ ثَلاَثُمِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ فِي اَلْأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ أَلْفٌ وَ مِائَتَا تَسْبِيحَةٍ يُضَاعِفُهَا اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَكْتُبُ لَكَ بِهَا اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ اَلْحَسَنَةُ مِنْهَا مِثْلُ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ وَ أَعْظَمُ.

Hadith.1533 - Abu Hamza al-Thumali reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) said to Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, 'O’ Ja'far, shall I bestow upon you, give you, honor you, or teach you a prayer that if you perform it, even if you were to have fled from the battlefield and had sins equivalent to the sand of ‘Alij or the foam of the sea, they would be forgiven for you?' Ja'far replied: 'Yes, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw).' He (sw) said: 'You should pray four units (rak'ahs) whenever you wish: if you wish, every night; if you wish, every day; if you wish, from Jumu’ah to Jumu’ah; if you wish, from month to month; or if you wish, from year to year. You begin the prayer, then say fifteen times, "Allahu Akbar, SubhanAllah (swt), Alhamdulillah, and La ilaha illAllah (swt)." Then recite Surah al-Fatiha and a surah, and in your bowing (ruku'), you say them ten times. You raise your head from ruku' and say them ten times. Then you prostrate (sujud) and say them ten times. You raise your head from prostration and say them ten times. Then you prostrate again and say them ten times. You raise your head and say them ten times. Then you stand up and say them fifteen times. Then recite Surah al-Fatiha and a surah, then bow and say them ten times, then raise your head from bowing and say them ten times, then prostrate and say them ten times, then raise your head from prostration and say them ten times, then prostrate again and say them ten times, and then raise your head and say them ten times. Then you perform the tashahhud (testimony of faith) and Tasleem (concluding salutations) and stand to pray two more units in the same manner and then conclude with Tasleem.' Abu Ja'far (as) said: 'That makes seventy-five (tasbihs) in each rak'ah, totaling three hundred glorifications in four rak'ahs, which is one thousand two hundred tasbihs. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, multiplies it and writes for you twelve thousand good deeds, each one like the size of Mount Uhud or even greater.'"

1534 - وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ اَلتَّسْبِيحَ فِي صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرٍ بَعْدَ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ وَ أَنَّ تَرْتِيبَ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ.

Hadith.1534 - It has been narrated that in the Tasbih (glorifications) of the Salat (prayer) of Ja'far, the order of the Tasbih following the recitation (of the chapters from the Qur'an) is "SubhanAllah (swt) (Glory be to God), Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to God), La ilaha illAllah (swt) (There is no god but Allah (swt)), and Allahu Akbar (God is the Greatest)”.

1535 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اِقْرَأْ فِي صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِ‍ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» وَ «قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلْكٰافِرُونَ».

Hadith.1535 - In a narration from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah, from Imam Al-Sadiq (as), Imam (as) said: "Recite in the Salat of Ja'far (as) 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) and ‘Qul ya-ayyuhal kaafirun’ (Surah al-Kafirun)."

1536 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْبِلاَدِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ لِمَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَ زَبَدِ اَلْبَحْرِ ذُنُوباً لَغَفَرَهَا اَللَّهُ لَهُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذِهِ لَنَا قَالَ «فَلِمَنْ هِيَ إِلاَّ لَكُمْ خَاصَّةً» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيَّ شَيْءٍ أَقْرَأُ فِيهَا قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ أَعْتَرِضُ اَلْقُرْآنَ قَالَ «لاَ اِقْرَأْ فِيهَا إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَ «إِذٰا جٰاءَ نَصْرُ اَللّٰهِ» وَ إِنّٰا أَنْزَلْنٰاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ.

Hadith.1536 - It is narrated from Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Bilad, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan, meaning Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as): "What is the reward for one who prays the Salat of Ja'far?" Imam (as) said: "If they have sins equal in quantity to the sand of 'Alij and the foam of the sea, Allah (swt) would forgive them." I asked: "Is this exclusively for us?" Imam (as) said: "For whom else would it be if not for you specifically?" I then asked: "Which chapters (of the Qur'an) should be recited in it?" Imam (as) answered: "Recite 'When the Earth is Shaken with its [Final] Earthquake' (Surat al-Zalzalah), 'When the Victory of Allah (swt) has Come' (Surat al-Nasr), 'Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree' (Surat al-Qadr), and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas)."

1537 - وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَمَّنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ جَعْفَرٍ هَلْ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ مِنَ اَلْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِجَعْفَرٍ قَالَ «إِي وَ اَللَّهِ.

Hadith.1537 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about someone who performs the Salat of Ja'far. Would they receive the same reward as that which the Messenger of Allah (sw) mentioned to Ja'far? Imam (as) said: "Yes, by Allah (swt)."

1538 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى اَلْمَاضِي اَلْأَخِيرِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى مِنْ صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تُعَجِّلُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ حَاجَةٌ أَوْ يَقْطَعُ ذَلِكَ لِحَادِثٍ يَحْدُثُ أَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يُتِمَّهَا إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ وَ إِنْ قَامَ عَنْ مَجْلِسِهِ أَمْ لاَ يَحْتَسِبُ بِذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَأْنِفَ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ يُصَلِّيَ اَلْأَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ كُلَّهَا فِي مَقَامٍ وَاحِدٍ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «بَلَى إِنْ قَطَعَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَمْرٌ لاَ بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهُ فَلْيَقْطَعْ ثُمَّ لْيَرْجِعْ فَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ.

Hadith.1538 - It is narrated from Ali ibn al-Rayan that He said: I wrote to the Last Imam (as) asking about a man who prayed two rak'ahs of the Salat of Ja'far but was forced to interrupt before completing the final two rak'ahs due to a need or an event that occurred. Would it be permissible for him to complete the remaining rak'ahs once his need was met, even if he had left his original place of prayer, or must he start the prayer again and pray all four rak'ahs together without interruption? He (as) replied: "Yes, if he was interrupted by a matter of necessity, then let him stop and afterward return to complete what remains, if Allah (swt) wills."

1539 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «صَلِّ صَلاَةَ جَعْفَرٍ فِي أَيِّ وَقْتٍ شِئْتَ مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَسَبْتَهَا مِنْ نَوَافِلِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَسَبْتَهَا مِنْ نَوَافِلِ اَلنَّهَارِ تُحْسَبُ لَكَ مِنْ نَوَافِلِكَ وَ تُحْسَبُ لَكَ مِنْ صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ.

Hadith.1539 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "Pray the Salat of Ja'far whenever you wish, be it during the day or night. If you wish, you may count it as part of the supererogatory prayers of the night, and if you wish, you may count it as part of the supererogatory prayers of the day. It will be counted as part of your supererogatory prayers and as the Salat of Ja'far (as)."

1540 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا كُنْتَ مُسْتَعْجِلاً فَصَلِّ صَلاَةَ جَعْفَرٍ مُجَرَّدَةً ثُمَّ اِقْضِ اَلتَّسْبِيحَ.

Hadith.1540 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "If you are in a hurry, pray the Salat of Ja'far in a simplified form, and then complete the Tasbih (glorification) afterwards."

1541 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ قَالَ: «تَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ سَجْدَةٍ مِنْ صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: يَا مَنْ لَبِسَ اَلْعِزَّ وَ اَلْوَقَارَ يَا مَنْ تَعَطَّفَ بِالْمَجْدِ وَ تَكَرَّمَ بِهِ يَا مَنْ لاَ يَنْبَغِي اَلتَّسْبِيحُ إِلاَّ لَهُ يَا مَنْ «أَحْصىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ» عِلْمُهُ يَا ذَا اَلنِّعْمَةِ وَ اَلطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا اَلْمَنِّ وَ اَلْفَضْلِ يَا ذَا اَلْقُدْرَةِ وَ اَلْكَرَمِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ اَلْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى اَلرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ اَلْأَعْظَمِ اَلْأَعْلَى وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ اَلتَّامَّاتِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.

Hadith.1541 - In a narration from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, it is reported that one should say in the final prostration of the Salat of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (as): "O’ One who is clothed in might and dignity, O’ One who adorns Himself with majesty and nobility, O’ One for whom glorification is befitting and belongs to none but Him, O’ One whose knowledge encompasses all things, O’ Possessor of bounty and grace, O’ Bestower of favors and blessings, O’ One with power and generosity, I ask You by the pillars of might from Your Throne and by the ultimate mercy from Your Book and by Your greatest and highest Name and by Your perfect words to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and to fulfil for me such and such (mentioning one’s needs)."
