Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 18
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ يَأْمُرُ اَلصِّبْيَانَ يَجْمَعُونَ بَيْنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ يَقُولُ« هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَنَامُوا عَنْهَا»
Muhammad ibn Isma‘il, from Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Rib‘i, from Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar, said:
(Imam) Ali ibn Al-Husayn عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, used to instruct the children to combine between Maghrib and ‘Isha (the later night prayer). Imam عليه السلام would say: "It is better than that they sleep through it."
