وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لاَ تَقْرَأَنَّ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَلْأَرْبَعِ اَلرَّكَعَاتِ اَلْمَفْرُوضَاتِ شَيْئاً إِمَاماً كُنْتَ أَوْ غَيْرَ إِمَامٍ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا أَقُولُ فِيهَا قَالَ «إِنْ كُنْتَ إِمَاماً أَوْ وَحْدَكَ فَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ تُكَمِّلُهُ تِسْعَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ وَ تَرْكَعُ.
Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) that He said: "Do not recite anything (from the Qur'an) in the last two rak'ahs of the four obligatory rak'ah prayers, whether you are an Imam or not." I (Zurarah) asked: "So what should I say in them?" Imam (a.s) said: "If you are an Imam or praying alone, say: 'Subhan Allah (swt) (Glory be to Allah (swt)), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah (swt)), and La ilaha illa Allah (swt) (There is no god but Allah (swt))' three times, making a total of nine glorifications. Then say the takbir and bow (for ruku')."
