Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Chapter on Recommended (Non-Obligatory) Prayers
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ حَنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَخْبِرْنِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ« كَانَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يُصَلِّي ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتِ اَلزَّوَالِ وَ أَرْبَعاً اَلْأُولَى وَ ثَمَانِيَ بَعْدَهَا وَ أَرْبَعاً اَلْعَصْرَ وَ ثَلاَثاً اَلْمَغْرِبَ وَ أَرْبَعاً بَعْدَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعِشَاءَ اَلْآخِرَةَ أَرْبَعاً وَ ثَمَانِيَ صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ ثَلاَثاً اَلْوَتْرَ وَ رَكْعَتَيِ اَلْفَجْرِ وَ صَلاَةَ اَلْغَدَاةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا أَ يُعَذِّبُنِي اَللَّهُ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ عَلَى تَرْكِ اَلسُّنَّةِ»
Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il ibn Buzay‘ from Hanan. He said: ‘Amr ibn Hurayth asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), while I was sitting (there), and he said to Imam (a.s): “Inform me, may I be your ransom, about the prayers of the Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family.” So Imam (a.s) said to him: “The Prophet, may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, used to pray eight rak‘ahs at the time of zawal, four (rak‘ahs) for the noon prayer (al-Dhuhr), and eight after it, and four (rak‘ahs) for the afternoon prayer (al-’Asr), and three (rak‘ahs) for the sunset prayer (al-Maghrib), and four after Maghrib, and the final night prayer (Isha al-akhirah) four (rak‘ahs), and eight for the night prayer (salat al-layl), and three for witr, and two rak‘ahs for the dawn prayer (al-fajr), and the morning prayer (salat al-ghadah) two rak‘ahs.” I said: “May I be your ransom, so if I have the strength for more than this, would Allah (swt) punish me for praying excessively?” Imam (a.s) said: “No, but He (swt) punishes for abandoning the Sunnah.”
