2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَبُكَيْرٍ ابْنَيْ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَنَ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ لَمْ يَعْتَدَّ بِهَا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ صَلاَتَهُ اسْتِقْبَالاً إِذَا كَانَ قَدِ اسْتَيْقَنَ يَقِيناً.

Published English translation

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah and ibn Bukayr ibn A’yan who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one of you is certain that he has increased something in his obligatory Salah (prayer) he does not depend on it and performs his Salah (prayer) again if he is certain of such increase.’”

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
