Hadith 1007
۞
The saying in the ruku` and the sujud is three tasbihat (saying subhanAllah), and five is better, and seven is best, and the [single] complete tasbiha suffices in the unit and the sujud for the person who is sick and the one in a hurry. So, whoever does less than the three tasbihat in his unit and in his sujud, and he is not sick and not in a hurry, then he has reduced a third of his salat. Whoever leaves off two tasbiha, then he has reduced two thirds of his prayer. Whoever does not do tasbih [at all] in his unit and his sujud, then there is no salat for him unless he does tahlil (saying la ilaha illAllah) or does takbir or blesses the Prophet and his family by the number of the tasbih, for that suffices him. The two testimonies suffice in the tashahhud, so what is more [than that] then it is [additional] worship (ta`abbud). [As to] the taslim in the prayer, one time facing the qibla suffices, inclining one’s eye to one’s right. Someone who is in a jama`a with the opponents (ahl al-khilaf) does taslim with two taslima, a taslima to his right and a taslima to his left, as they do, out of taqiyya.
والقول في الركوع والسجود ثلاث تسبيحات، وخمس أحسن، وسبع أفضل، وتسبيحة تامة تجزي في الركوع والسجود للمريض والمستعجل، فمن نقص من الثلاث التسبيحات في ركوعه أو في سجوده تسبيحة، ولم يكن بمريض ولا مستعجل فقد نقص ثلث صلاته، ومن ترك تسبيحتين فقد نقص ثلثي صلاته، ومن لم يسبح في ركوعه وسجوده فلا صلاة له إلا أن يهلل أو يكبر أو يصلي على النبي وآله بعدد التسبيح، فإن ذلك يجزيه، ويجزي في التشهد الشهادتان، فما زاد فتعبد، والتسليم في الصلاة يجزي مرة واحدة مستقبل القبلة ويميل بعينه إلى يمينه، ومن كان في جمع من أهل الخلاف سلم تسليمتين، عن يمينه تسليمة، وعن يساره تسليمة كما يفعلون، للتقية.
