[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Ja'far ibn Abi Talib to the land of Habasha (Ethiopia). When he arrived there, the king embraced him, kissed him between the eyes, and said, "Do you not want me to give you gifts, inform you, honor you, and entertain you?" Ja'far replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The king then instructed him to perform four units of prayer, reciting Alhamdulillah and a Surah in each unit, and after completing the recitation, say the following while still standing upright, before going into prostration: Subhan Allahi walhamdulillahi wala ilaha illallah wallahu akbar, wala hawla wala quwwata illa billah (Glory be to Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the greatest, and there is no power or strength except with Allah) fifteen times. Then, in the bowing position, say the same words ten times. Complete this entire unit before starting the second unit. Ja'far followed these instructions for three units, as described, until he had completed four units. "This is an authentic narration, with no doubt about it. One of the proofs of the authenticity of this hadith is the fact that the Imams of the Tabi'een in our time used it, as well as their consistent teaching of it to the people, such as Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak. May Allah have mercy on him."  

وَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِلَى بِلَادِ الْحَبَشَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ اعْتَنَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أَهَبُ لَكَ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ أَلَا أَمْنَحُكَ أَلَا أُتْحِفُكَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ تُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِالْحَمْدِ وَسُورَةٍ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَأَنْتَ قَائِمٌ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ فَتَقُولُهُنَّ عَشْرًا تَمَامَ هَذِهِ الرَّكْعَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَبْتَدِئَ بِالرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ تَفْعَلُ فِي الثَّلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ كَمَا وَصَفْتَ لَكَ حَتَّى تُتِمَّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ «هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ لَا غُبَارَ عَلَيْهِ وَمِمَّا يُسْتَدَلُّ بِهِ عَلَى صِحَّةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ اسْتِعْمَالُ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ أَتْبَاعِ التَّابِعِينَ إِلَى عَصْرِنَا هَذَا إِيَّاهُ وَمَوَاظَبَتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَعْلِيمُهُنَّ النَّاسَ مِنْهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ»
