10ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْرَهُونَ الصَّلاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ مَوَاطِنَ عِنْدَ الْعَطْسَةِ وَعِنْدَ الذَّبِيحَةِ وَعِنْدَ الْجِمَاعِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا لَهُمْ وَيْلَهُمْ نَافَقُوا لَعَنَهُمُ الله.

Published English translation

10. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Isma’il al-Basri from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Once I said to abu Ja’far (a.s.) ‘People do not like saying, “O Allah grant al-Salat, (favors) upon Muhammad and the AM al-Bay (family of Muhammad),” in three conditions: when sneezing, when slaughtering an animal and at the time of having intimate relations with their spouses.’ Abu Ja’far (a.s.) said, ‘What is wrong with them, woe upon them! It is due to their hypocrisy, may Allah condemn them.’”
