مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُطَهَّرٍ: أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُخْبِرُهُ بِمَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ اَلرِّوَايَةُ أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ غَيْرِهِ مِنَ اَللَّيْلِ سِوَى ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْهَا اَلْوَتْرُ وَ رَكْعَتَا اَلْفَجْرِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« فَضَّ اَللَّهُ فَاهُ صَلِّ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً ثَمَانٍ بَعْدَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَاِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَ عِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَاِغْتَسِلْ لَيْلَةَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَلَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ لَيْلَةَ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ صَلِّ فِيهِمَا ثَلاَثِينَ رَكْعَةً اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بَعْدَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بَعْدَ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ صَلِّ فِيهِمَا مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ صَلِّ إِلَى آخِرِ اَلشَّهْرِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ ثَلاَثِينَ رَكْعَةً عَلَى مَا فَسَّرْتُ»

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mutahhar: (Ibn Mutahhar) wrote to Abu Muhammad (Imam al-Askari (a.s)), peace be upon him, informing Imam (a.s) of what a narration had conveyed that the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, did not used to pray during the nights of the Month of Ramadan or otherwise except thirteen rak’ahs, including the Witr and the two rak’ahs of Fajr. So Imam (a.s), peace be upon him, wrote in response: “May Allah (swt) tear his mouth! Pray in the Month of Ramadan for twenty nights; each night twenty rak’ahs, with eight after Maghrib and twelve after the final Isha. And perform ghusl on the night of the nineteenth, the night of the twenty-first, and the night of the twenty-third. And on those nights, pray thirty rak’ahs; twelve rak’ahs after Maghrib and eighteen rak’ahs after the final Isha. And on those nights, pray one hundred rak’ahs, reciting in every rak’ah the ‘Fatihat al-Kitab’ (Surah al-Fatihah) and ‘Qul huwa Allahu Ahad’ (Surah Ikhlas) ten times. And continue until the end of the month, praying every night; thirty rak’ahs, in the manner I have explained.”
