Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ هَارُونَ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَتَى أُصَلِّي صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ« صَلِّهَا آخِرَ اَللَّيْلِ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَنْبِهُ فَقَالَ« تَسْتَنْبِهُ مَرَّةً فَتُصَلِّيهَا وَ تَنَامُ فَتَقْضِيهَا فَإِذَا اِهْتَمَمْتَ بِقَضَائِهَا بِالنَّهَارِ اِسْتَنْبَهْتَ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Al-Hakam from Harun from Murazim from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I said to Him عليه السلام: “When should I pray the night prayer?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Pray it at the end of the night." I said: “But I do not wake up.” Imam عليه السلام said: "You will wake up once, so pray it, then if you sleep, you can make it up. When you become concerned with making it up during the day, you will wake up (at night)."
