Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘When you intend to perform <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, so say while you are upright, ‘Allah^azwj is the Greatest!’ Then performing <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span> and say, ‘O Allah^azwj! To You^azwj I go in <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, and to You^azwj I submit, and in You^azwj I believe, and upon You^azwj I rely, and You^azwj are my Lord^azwj. Humble to You^azwj is my heart, and my hearing, and my vision, and my hair, and my skin, and my flesh, and my blood, and my brain, and my bones, and my nerves, and what my feet are bearing, without neither an objection, nor arrogance, nor tiredness. Glorious is my Lord^azwj the Magnificent, and by His^azwj Praise’ – three times with clarity. And line up your feet in your <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, making to be between them a distance of an open palm’s width, and enabling your palms from your knees and placing your right hand upon your right knee before the left one, and placing your fingertips on the side of the knees, and separate your fingers when you place them upon your knee, and straighten your back and extend your neck, and let your sight be between your two feet, then say, ‘Allah^azwj Hears the one who Praises him’, and you are standing straight. The Praise is for Allah^azwj Lord^azwj of the worlds, the rightful with Compulsion, and the Greatness and the Magnificence is for Allah^azwj, Lord^azwj of the worlds’. Raise your voice with it, then raise your hand with the exclamation of <span class="iTxt">Takbīr</span>, and fall down perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>’.
