1527 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَ بُرَيْدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ: «إِذَا وَقَعَ اَلْكُسُوفُ أَوْ بَعْضُ هَذِهِ اَلْآيَاتِ صَلِّهَا مَا لَمْ تَتَخَوَّفْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ وَقْتُ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَإِنْ تَخَوَّفْتَ فَابْدَأْ بِالْفَرِيضَةِ وَ اِقْطَعْ مَا كُنْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَلْكُسُوفِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى حَيْثُ كُنْتَ قَطَعْتَ وَ اِحْتَسِبْ بِمَا مَضَى.

Hadith.1527 - Muhammad ibn Muslim and Burayd ibn Muawiya narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) and Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "When an eclipse or any of these celestial signs occurs, perform the prayer (Salat al-Kusuf) as long as you do not fear missing the time of an obligatory prayer. If you fear that the time of the obligatory prayer will pass, then begin with the obligatory prayer and interrupt your Salat al-Kusuf. Once you have completed the obligatory prayer, return to where you left off in the Salat al-Kusuf and continue from there, counting what you have already performed."

1528 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْفَضْلِ اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا اِنْكَسَفَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ اَلْقَمَرُ وَ أَنَا رَاكِبٌ لاَ أَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلنُّزُولِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَيَّ «صَلِّ عَلَى مَرْكَبِكَ اَلَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ.

Hadith.1528 - It is reported from Ali ibn al-Fadl al-Wasiti that He said: "I wrote to Imam al-Ridha (as) asking about what to do if the sun or moon eclipses while I am riding and unable to dismount. He (as) wrote back to me saying, 'Pray on your mount, whatever you are on.'".

1529 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ: قُلْنَا لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ يَقْضِي صَلاَةَ اَلْكُسُوفِ مَنْ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ فَعَلِمَ وَ إِذَا أَمْسَى فَعَلِمَ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ اَلْقُرْصَانِ اِحْتَرَقَا كُلُّهُمَا قَضَيْتَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا اِحْتَرَقَ بَعْضُهُمَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ قَضَاؤُهُ.

Hadith.1529 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim and al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar that they said: "We asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): Should one make up the prayer for an eclipse if he becomes aware of it in the morning or evening after it has occurred? He (as) replied: 'If both discs (the sun and the moon) were completely eclipsed, you must make it up. However, if only a part of either of them was eclipsed, then you are not required to make it up.'"

1530 - وَ سَأَلَ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ صَلاَةِ اَلْكُسُوفِ كُسُوفِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ اَلْقَمَرِ قَالَ «عَشْرُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ أَرْبَعُ سَجَدَاتٍ تَرْكَعُ خَمْساً ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فِي اَلْخَامِسَةِ ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ خَمْساً ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فِي اَلْعَاشِرَةِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قَرَأْتَ سُورَةً فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قَرَأْتَ نِصْفَ سُورَةٍ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ سُورَةً فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاقْرَأْ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ إِنْ قَرَأْتَ نِصْفَ سُورَةٍ أَجْزَأَكَ أَنْ لاَ تَقْرَأَ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِفَ أُخْرَى وَ لاَ تَقُلْ سَمِعَ اَللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي رَفْعِ رَأْسِكَ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ إِلاَّ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلَّتِي تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ فِيهَا.

Hadith.1530 - Al-Halabi asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the prayer for the eclipse (Salat al-Kusuf) of the sun and moon. Imam (as) said: "It consists of ten rak'ahs (units of prayer) and four prostrations (Sujood). You perform five bowings (ruku) and then prostrate (Sujood) in the fifth. Then you perform another five bowings and prostrate in the tenth. If you wish, you can recite a chapter (Surah) in each rak'ah, or if you prefer, you may recite half of a chapter in each rak'ah. If you recite a chapter in each rak'ah, then recite the opening of the Book (Al-Fatiha). If you choose to recite half a chapter, it suffices to recite Al-Fatiha only in the first rak'ah until you start another chapter. And you should not say 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah (swt) hears the one who praises Him) when rising from ruku except in the rak'ah where you intend to prostrate."

1531 - وَ رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ: «أَنَّ اَلْقُنُوتَ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلثَّانِيَةِ قَبْلَ اَلرُّكُوعِ ثُمَّ فِي اَلرَّابِعَةِ ثُمَّ فِي اَلسَّادِسَةِ ثُمَّ فِي اَلثَّامِنَةِ ثُمَّ فِي اَلْعَاشِرَةِ.

Hadith.1531 - Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated: "The Qunoot (supplication) is to be recited in the second rak'ah before bowing (ruku), then in the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth rak'ahs."

1532 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَهُ اِنْكِسَافَ اَلْقَمَرِ وَ مَا يَلْقَى اَلنَّاسُ مِنْ شِدَّتِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِذَا اِنْجَلَى مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَقَدِ اِنْجَلَى.

Hadith.1532 - Hammad ibn Uthman narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that during a discussion about the eclipse of the moon and the hardship that people endure because of it, He (Imam Al-Sadiq) said: "If a part of it (the moon) has cleared, then it has cleared”.

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)."
