وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« إِنْ كَانَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ« اَلْمٰالُ وَ اَلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ اَلْحَيٰاةِ اَلدُّنْيٰا» إِنَّ اَلثَّمَانِيَةَ رَكَعَاتٍ يُصَلِّيهَا اَلْعَبْدُ آخِرَ اَللَّيْلِ زِينَةُ اَلْآخِرَةِ»
And from him, from Umar ibn Ali ibn Umar, from his uncle Muhammad ibn Umar, from someone who narrated to him: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “Indeed, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, has said: ‘Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world’ (Surah Kahf 18:46), then surely eight rak‘ahs which the servant prays at the end of the night are the adornment of the Hereafter.”
