وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَقُومُ وَ قَدْ نَوَّرَ بِالْغَدَاةِ قَالَ« فَلْيُصَلِّ اَلسَّجْدَتَيْنِ اَللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ اَلْغَدَاةِ ثُمَّ لْيُصَلِّ اَلْغَدَاةَ»
And from him, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Abi al-‘Ala’, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: "A man rises and the light of dawn has already appeared." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then let him perform the two prostrations (the two rak‘ahs) that are before the dawn prayer, and then let him perform the dawn (Fajr) prayer."
