Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Chapter on Recommended (Non-Obligatory) Prayers
مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ اَلسُّنَّةُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ« ثَمَانُ رَكَعَاتِ اَلزَّوَالِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ اَلْعَصْرِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْ آخِرِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ مِنْهَا اَلْوَتْرُ وَ رَكْعَتَا اَلْفَجْرِ» قُلْتُ فَهَذَا جَمِيعُ مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ اَلسُّنَّةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو اَلْخَطَّابِ أَ فَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَوِيَ فَزَادَ قَالَ فَجَلَسَ وَ كَانَ مُتَّكِئاً فَقَالَ« إِنْ قَوِيتَ فَصَلِّهَا كَمَا كَانَتْ تُصَلَّى وَ كَمَا لَيْسَتْ فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنَ اَلنَّهَارِ فَلَيْسَتْ فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنَ اَللَّيْلِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ« وَ مِنْ آنٰاءِ اَللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id narrated from Safwan from Ibn Bukayr from Zurarah. He said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s): “What is the established Sunnah regarding prayer?” Imam (a.s) said: “Eight rak‘ahs at the time of zawal, and two rak‘ahs after Dhuhr, and two rak‘ahs before ‘Asr, and two rak‘ahs after Maghrib, and thirteen rak‘ahs at the end of the night, including the witr, and the two rak‘ahs of fajr.” I (narrator) asked: “So is this all that the Sunnah has established?” Imam (a.s) said: “Yes.” Then Abu al-Khattab asked: “What if one is strong and adds more?” He (Imam (a.s)) sat up, He (a.s) had been reclining, and said: “If you are strong, then pray them as they were prayed before, and as long as they are not in a forbidden hour of the day, there is no forbidden hour of the night. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, says: “And during parts of the night, glorify Him.” (Surah Taha 20:130)
