Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Chapter on Recommended (Non-Obligatory) Prayers
وَ مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ اَلْعِبَادُ إِلَى اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« سِتٌّ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ رَكْعَةً فَرَائِضُهُ وَ نَوَافِلُهُ» قُلْتُ هَذِهِ رِوَايَةُ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ« أَ وَ تَرَى أَحَداً كَانَ أَصْدَعَ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْهُ»
And what was narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from Yahya ibn Habib, he said: I asked (Imam) al-Ridha (a.s) about the best form of prayer through which the servants may draw near to Allah (swt), the Exalted. Imam (a.s) said: “Forty-six rak‘ahs, its obligatory and supererogatory prayers.” I said: “This is the narration of Zurarah.” Imam (a.s) said: “And do you see anyone who proclaimed the truth more clearly than he (Zurarah) did?”
