Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« رُبَّمَا قُمْتُ وَ قَدْ طَلَعَ اَلْفَجْرُ فَأُصَلِّي صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ وَ اَلْوَتْرَ وَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ اَلْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أُصَلِّي اَلْفَجْرَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَفْعَلُ أَنَاذَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ مِنْكَ عَادَةً»
From him, from al-Barqi, from Safwan, from Abu Ayyub, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said to me: "It may happen that I rise and the dawn has already appeared, so I perform the night prayer, and the Witr, and the two rak‘ahs before Fajr, then I perform the Fajr prayer." He (narrator) said: “I asked, ‘May I do the same?’" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, but do not make it a habit."
