سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ التَّشَهُّدِ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ وَاجِباً عَلَى النَّاسِ هَلَكُوا إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ يَقُولُونَ أَيْسَرَ مَا يَعْلَمُونَ إِذَا حَمِدْتَ اللَّهَ أَجْزَأَ عَنْكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhajmmad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Usman Bin Isa, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from Bakr Bin Habeeb who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Had it been as you are saying it to be to be, an Obligation upon the people, they would have been destroyed. But rather, the people are saying the easier of what they are doing. If you were to Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, it would suffice from you’.
