35ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَصَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَسَبَّحَ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَهَلَّلَ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَحَمِدَ الله خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ مَرَّةً لَمْ يُكْتَبْ فِي ذَلِكَ الصَّبَاحِ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَإِذَا قَالَهَا فِي الْمَسَاءِ لَمْ يُكْتَبُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ.

Published English translation

35. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Isma’Il ibn Jabir from ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever says before dawn, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the kingdom and all praise, He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life. He is living and does not die, in His hand is all good and He has power over all things,” ten times and says, ‘O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family,’ ten times, and says, ‘Allah is free of all defects,’ thirty-five times, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah,’ thirty- five times, ‘All praise belongs to Allah,’ thirty-five times, he will not be written that morning among the careless ones and if he says this in the evening, he will not be written of the careless ones in that night.’”
