Hadith #142

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْقَوْلِ فِي اَلتَّشَهُّدِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ قَالَ« تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ» قُلْتُ فَمَا يُجْزِي مِنْ تَشَهُّدِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ« اَلشَّهَادَتَانِ»

Sa‘d ibn Abdillah, from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Hariz ibn Abdillah, from Zurarah, who said: I said to Abu Ja‘far , peace be upon him: “What suffices to be said in the ‘tashahhud’ of the first two rak‘ahs?” Imam said: “You say: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lah’.” I said: “And what suffices in the ‘tashahhud’ of the last two rak‘ahs?” Imam said: “The two testimonies.”
