عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: كَتَبَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ نَوَافِلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ عَنِ اَلزِّيَادَةِ فِيهَا فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَيْهِ كِتَاباً قَرَأْتُهُ بِخَطِّهِ« صَلِّ فِي أَوَّلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً صَلِّ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ بَعْدَ اَلْعِشَاءِ اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَ فِي اَلْعَشْرِ اَلْأَوَاخِرِ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ بَيْنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ وَ اِثْنَتَيْنِ وَ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً بَعْدَ اَلْعَتَمَةِ إِلاَّ فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ فَإِنَّ اَلْمِائَةَ تُجْزِيكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ ذَلِكَ سِوَى اَلْخَمْسِينَ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ« إِنّٰا أَنْزَلْنٰاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ»
Ali ibn Hatim, from al-Hasan ibn Ali, from his father, who said: A man wrote to Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him, asking him about the supererogatory prayers of the Month of Ramadan and about increasing in them. So Imam (a.s), peace be upon him, wrote to him a letter, which I read in his own handwriting: “Pray at the beginning of the Month of Ramadan, for twenty nights, (within them) twenty rak’ahs. Pray from them eight rak’ahs between Maghrib and Atamah (Isha), and twelve rak’ahs after Isha. And in the last ten nights, pray eight rak’ahs between Maghrib and Atamah (Isha), and twenty-two rak’ahs after Atamah (Isha) except on the night of the twenty-first, for one hundred rak’ahs will suffice you, Allah (swt) willing. And that is besides the fifty (daily obligatory prayers). And increase in the recitation of ‘Inna anzalnahu fi laylati al-qadr’ (Surah Al Qadr).”
