  • Question 1384: Is it required to say the phrase 'Lā bi-shay'in min ālā'ika rabbī ukadhdhibu' after the verse 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān' in Surah Ar-Rahmān every time the Surah is recited, or is it only for its recitation on Friday mornings?

    قَولُ : «لَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ آلَائِكَ رَبِّ أُكَذِّبُ» بَعْدَ آیَةِ «فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ» فِی سُورَةِ الْرَّحْمَن، هَلْ تَخْتَّصُ بِقِرَائَتِها بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ فِی یَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَمْ قِرَائَتِها فِی کُلِّ وَقْتٍ؟

    Virtue of Reciting Surah Ar-Rahmān

    ✅ Answer: Please consider the following narrations:

    1 عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَقُولُ یُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ فِی دُبُرِ الْغَدَاةِ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الرَّحْمَنَ کُلَّهَا ثُمَّ تَقُولَ کُلَّمَا قُلْتَ- فَبِأَیِّ آلاءِ رَبِّکُما تُکَذِّبانِ لَا بِشَیْ ءٍ مِنْ آلَائِکَ رَبِّ أُکَذِّبُ.

    📚Al-Kāfi, Vol. 3, p. 428

    Hammād bin ‘Uthmān said: I heard Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) say: It is recommended to recite the entire Surah Ar-Rahmān after the Fajr prayer on Friday, and after every time you say 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān,' you should say: 'Lā bi-shay'in min ālā'ika rabbī ukadhdhibu.'

    2 عَنْ هِشَامٍ أَوْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ عِنْدَ کُلِّ فَبِأَیِّ آلاءِ رَبِّکُما تُکَذِّبانِ- لَا بِشَیْ ءٍ مِنْ آلَائِکَ رَبِّ أُکَذِّبُ- فَإِنْ قَرَأَهَا لَیْلًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ شَهِیداً وَ إِنْ قَرَأَهَا نَهَاراً ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ شَهِیداً.

    📚Thawāb al-A‘māl, p. 144, Hadith 2

    Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites Surah Ar-Rahmān and says 'Lā bi-shay'in min ālā'ika rabbī ukadhdhibu' after every instance of 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān,' if he recites it at night and then dies, he dies a martyr; and if he recites it during the day and then dies, he dies as a martyr in this world!

    3 عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَيْفٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ الرَّحْمَنُ فَلْيَقُلْ عِنْدَ فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ لَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ آلَائِكَ رَبِّ أُكَذِّبُ

    📚Mustadrak al-Wasā'il, Vol. 4, p. 180

    Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites Surah Ar-Rahmān, after reciting 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān,' should say: 'Lā bi-shay'in min ālā'ika rabbī ukadhdhibu.'

    ✅ In Surah Ar-Rahmān, the verse 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān' is repeated 31 times. According to the above narrations and others, although it is specifically recommended to recite this Surah after the Fajr prayer on Friday, based on narrations 2 and 3, it is recommended to say 'Lā bi-shay'in min ālā'ika rabbī ukadhdhibu' after every occurrence of the verse 'Fa bi ayyī ālā'ī rabbikumā tukadhdhibān.' This phrase is not confined to a specific time for reciting it, and it can be said whenever the Surah is recited after the mentioned verse to gain its reward and blessings.

    ✅ In some narrations from the book 'Kāmil al-Ziyārāt' and others, for the prayer of visiting Imam Husayn (peace be upon him) and Imam Ridha (peace be upon him), it is recommended to recite Surah Yā-Sīn after Surah al-Fātiḥah in the first rak'ah and Surah Ar-Rahmān after Surah al-Fātiḥah in the second rak'ah. Saying the above phrase after the mentioned verse applies to reciting this Surah in the ziyārah prayers or in any obligatory or optional prayer.

    ✅ Dear brothers and sisters! The negligence of Shia in praying for the hastening of the appearance (of the Imam) has led to the delay of the appearance until now! Let us abandon this negligence and pray with full determination for the hastening of the appearance:

    اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

    وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Whenever a woman sees menstrual blood, it breaks the fast of a fasting woman at that moment!

✅ Based on the above narration and others, if a fasting woman sees menstrual blood at any time during the day, her fast is invalidated and does not count, and she must make it up, even if only a short time remains until Maghrib adhan.

📚 Al-Sara'ir, p. 469

Bazanti said: I asked the Imam (peace be upon him) about someone who buys second-hand and used clothes from the market and does not know who it belonged to. Is it valid to pray in them? The Imam replied: If he bought it from a Muslim, then he may pray in it. If he bought it from a Christian, he should not wear it or pray in it until he washes it!

3 عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ أَخِی دِعْبِلٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا علیه السلام: أَنَّهُ خَلَعَ عَلَی دِعْبِلٍ قَمِیصاً مِنْ خَزٍّ وَ قَالَ لَهُ احْتَفِظْ بِهَذَا الْقَمِیصِ فَقَدْ صَلَّیْتُ فِیهِ أَلْفَ لَیْلَةٍ كُلَّ لَیْلَةٍ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ وَ خَتَمْتُ فِیهِ الْقُرْآنَ أَلْفَ خَتْمَةٍ الْخَبَرَ
