Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ« إِنَّ نٰاشِئَةَ اَللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئاً وَ أَقْوَمُ قِيلاً» قَالَ« يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ« وَ أَقْوَمُ قِيلاً» قِيَامَ اَلرَّجُلِ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ يُرِيدُ بِهِ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لاَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ غَيْرَهُ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: "Indeed, the rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best in speech," (Surah Muzzammil 73:6). Imam عليه السلام said: "By His عز وجل saying 'and the best in speech', He عز وجل means the rising of a man from his bed intending by it Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, and intending no one other than Him عز وجل."
