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

وَ مَا رَوَاهُ صَفْوَانُ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« إِنِّي لَأُصَلِّي صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ فَأَفْرُغُ مِنْ صَلاَتِي وَ أُصَلِّي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَنَامُ مَا شَاءَ اَللَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ اَلْفَجْرُ فَإِنِ اِسْتَيْقَظْتُ عِنْدَ اَلْفَجْرِ أَعَدْتُهُمَا»
And what was narrated by Safwan from Ibn Bukayr from Zurarah, who said: I heard Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام say: "Indeed, I perform the night prayer, and I finish my prayer and perform the two rak‘ahs, then I sleep for as long as Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills before the Fajr rises. Then if I wake at the time of Fajr, I repeat them."
