Hadith #53

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَقُومُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ سُورَةً فَيَقْرَأُ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» وَ« قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلْكٰافِرُونَ» فَقَالَ« يَرْجِعُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُورَةٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» وَ« قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلْكٰافِرُونَ»

Muhammad bin Ya‘qub, from al-Husayn bin Muhammad, from Abdillah bin ‘Amir, from Ali bin Mahziyar, from Fadalah bin Ayyub, from al-Husayn bin ‘Uthman, from ‘Amr bin Abi Nasr, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him: “A man stands in prayer and wants to recite a surah, and he begins with ‘Surah Al-Ikhlas’ and ‘Surah Al-Kafirun’”. Imam said: "He may return (change to another surah) from any surah except ‘Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad’ and ‘Qul Ya Ayyuhal-Kafirun’."
