Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلزَّرَّادِ قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَبُو كَهْمَسٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ نَوَافِلَهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَوْ يُفَرِّقُهَا قَالَ« لاَ بَلْ هَاهُنَا وَ هَاهُنَا فَإِنَّهَا تَشْهَدُ لَهُ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ»
From him from Al-Hakam ibn Miskin from Abdullah ibn Ali Al-Zarrad who said: Abu Kahmas asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, saying: “Should a man perform his nawafil prayers (supererogatory prayers) in one place or should he distribute them in different places?” Imam عليه السلام said: "No, rather here and there, for indeed they will bear witness for him on the Day of Resurrection."
