Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى« قُمِ اَللَّيْلَ إِلاّٰ قَلِيلاً» قَالَ« أَمَرَهُ اَللَّهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَيْلَةٌ مِنَ اَللَّيَالِي لاَ يُصَلِّي فِيهَا شَيْئاً»
Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma'il from Mansur from Umar ibn Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: "Stand (in prayer) at night except a little." (Surah Muzzammil 73:2) Imam عليه السلام said: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى commanded Him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم to pray every night except that there might come upon him a night among the nights in which he does not pray anything."
