كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ ابْتَدَأَ بِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى غَيْرِ أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ السُّورَةِ تَرَكَهَا فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسِيُّ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ فَكَتَبَ بِخَطِّهِ يُعِيدُهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ عَلَى رَغْمِ أَنْفِهِ يَعْنِي الْعَبَّاسِيَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Yahya Bin Abu Imran Al Hamdany who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a man who begins with ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Beneficent, the Merciful’ in his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> only in the Mother of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha). So when he comes to the other than the Mother of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha) from the Chapters, he neglects it’. So the Abbaside said, ‘There is no problem with that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote by his<sup>asws</sup> own handwriting: ‘Repeat it twice notwithstanding his nose (pride)’ - meaning the Abbaside’.
