Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Explanation of the Fifty-One Rak‘ahs; The Order, Recitation, Tasbih in Bowing and Prostration, Qunut, and What is Obligatory and Recommended Therein
وَعَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلدُّعَاءُ دُبُرَ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلدُّعَاءِ دُبُرَ اَلتَّطَوُّعِ كَفَضْلِ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ عَلَى اَلتَّطَوُّعِ»
And from him, from Safwan, from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two (Imams عليه السلام), peace be upon them:
(Imam عليه السلام said) “Supplication after the obligatory prayer is better than supplication after the recommended prayer, just as the obligatory prayer is superior to the recommended one.”
