Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي وَقْتِ صَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ هُوَ نِصْفُهُ أَفْضَلُ فَإِنْ فَاتَ فَأَوَّلَهُ وَ آخِرَهُ جَائِزٌ»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar from Al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Bilal who said:
I wrote to Him عليه السلام regarding the time of the night prayer. He عليه السلام, peace be upon him, wrote back: "At the decline of the night, which is its middle, is best; but if that is missed, then its beginning and its end are both permissible."
