Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Zurarah, and Ibn Muslim, and al-Fudayl, said: We asked the two of them (Imam al-Baqir (a.s) and Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) about the supererogatory prayer (nafilah) at night during (month of) Ramadan in congregation. The Imams (a.s) said: “Indeed, the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, when He (saws) had prayed the final Isha; He would return to his home, then come out in the last part of the night to the mosque and stand and pray. So Prophet (saws) came out on the first night of the Month of Ramadan, to pray as he used to pray, and the people lined up behind Him (saws), and he fled from them into his house and left them. They did this for three nights. Then on the fourth day, Prophet (saws) ascended his pulpit, praised Allah (swt) and glorified Him (azj), and then said: ‘O people, the night prayer in the Month of Ramadan, the nafilah in congregation is an innovation (bidah), and the forenoon prayer (salat al-duha) is an innovation. Beware! Do not gather at night during the Month of Ramadan for the night prayer, and do not pray the forenoon prayer, for indeed that is disobedience. Beware! Every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire.’ Then Prophet (saws) descended while saying: ‘A little in accordance with the Sunnah is better than much in innovation.’”
