وَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said in his advice to Imam Ali عليه السلام: "O’ Ali, adhere to the night prayer, adhere to the night prayer, adhere to the night prayer”.

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْهُمَا اَلْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» ثَلاَثِينَ مَرَّةً اِنْفَتَلَ وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَنْبٌ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ لَهُ.
It is narrated: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Fatiha once and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) thirty times in each of the first two Rak'ahs of the night prayer, he will finish his prayer without any sin remaining between him and Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, except that He forgives it”.

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» قِيلَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ يَا عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ فَقَدْ قَبِلَ اَللَّهُ وَتْرَكَ.
It is narrated : "Whoever recites in the Witr prayer the two protective chapters (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas) and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas), it will be said to him, 'Rejoice, O’ servant of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى has accepted your Witr.'"
