3. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Imran al-Daqqaq said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said: Muhammad ibn Isam`il al-Barmaki said: al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan related to me that Bakr ibn Ziyad related tome, on the authority of `Abd al-Aziz ibn al-Muhtda that I asked al-Rida about Diving Unity; hence, he replied,

“All those who read: Say: He Allah is One, and believe in it, have professed their faith in Divine Unity.” I asked, “How should one read it?” He responded, “The same way that the people read it, adding `such is my Lord’ three times.”
