اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ« إِنَّ لِرَمَضَانَ لَحُرْمَةً وَ حَقّاً لاَ يُشْبِهُهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اَلشُّهُورِ صَلِّ مَا اِسْتَطَعْتَ فِي رَمَضَانَ تَطَوُّعاً بِاللَّيْلِ وَ اَلنَّهَارِ وَ إِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ فَصَلِّ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ فِي آخِرِ عُمُرِهِ يُصَلِّي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ فَصَلِّ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ زِيَادَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ» فَقَالَ كَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ« فِي عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً تَمْضِي فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ وَاِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَهَا سِوَى مَا كُنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ اَلْعَشْرُ اَلْأَ وَاخِرُ فَصَلِّ ثَلاَثِينَ رَكْعَةً كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ ثَمَانٍ قَبْلَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ وَ اِثْنَتَيْنِ وَ عِشْرِينَ بَعْدَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ سِوَى مَا كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ»

Translation

Al-Husayn ibn Said, from al-Qasim, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, who said: We entered upon Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, and Abu Basir said to Imam (a.s): “What do you say about prayer in (month of) Ramadan?” Imam (a.s) said to Abu Basir: “Indeed, (month of) Ramadan has a sanctity and a right that no other month resembles. Pray as much as you are able in (month of) Ramadan, the supererogatory prayers by night and day. And if you are able to pray one thousand rak’ahs in every day and night, then pray. Indeed, Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, in the last part of his life, used to pray one thousand rak’ahs in every day and night. So pray, O’ Aba Muhammad, with increased devotion in (month of) Ramadan.” Abu Basir said: “May I be ransomed for you, how many (rak’ahs)?” Imam (a.s) said: “For twenty nights that pass, (pray) twenty rak’ahs each night eight rak’ahs before the Atamah (Isha) prayer and twelve after it in addition to what you used to pray before that. Then when the last ten (nights) enter, pray thirty rak’ahs each night eight before the Atamah (Isha) and twenty-two after the Atamah (Isha) in addition to what you used to do before that.”
