34ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي قَدْ حُرِمْتُ الصَّلاَةَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ قَيَّدَتْكَ ذُنُوبُكَ.
34. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Imran ibn Musa from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn al-Nu‘man from his father from certain individuals of his people who has said the following: “A man came to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali, ibn abu Talib عليه السلام, and said, ’O Amir al- Mu’minin, I am deprived of Salah (prayer) at night.’ Amir al-Mu’minin said, ‘Your sins have tied you down.’”
