Arabic text

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ اَلْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ ظَرِيفِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ اَلْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ صَلاَةُ اَلنَّهَارِ اَلنَّوَافِلُ كَمْ هِيَ قَالَ« هِيَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً أَيَّ سَاعَاتِ اَلنَّهَارِ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَهَا صَلَّيْتَهَا إِلاَّ أَنَّكَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَهَا فِي مَوَاقِيتِهَا أَفْضَلُ»

Translation

And from him, from ‘Ammar ibn al-Mubarak from Ẓarif ibn Nasih from al-Qasim ibn al-Walid al-Ghifari: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s): “May I be your ransom, how many rak‘ahs are the nawafil (supererogatory prayers) of the day?” Imam (a.s) said: “They are sixteen rak‘ahs. You may pray them at whichever hours of the day you wish, but if you pray them at their specified times, it is better.”
