Chapter on the Detailed Explanation of Prayer, Including the Obligatory and Recommended, and What is Permissible and Not Permissible.

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أُدَيْمِ بْنِ اَلْحُرِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« لاَ يَتَنَفَّلُ اَلرَّجُلُ إِذَا دَخَلَ وَقْتُ فَرِيضَةٍ» قَالَ وَ قَالَ« إِذَا دَخَلَ وَقْتُ فَرِيضَةٍ فَابْدَأْ بِهَا»
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Udim ibn al-Hurr, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: "A man should not perform supererogatory (‘nafilah’) prayer once the time of an obligatory (‘faridah’) prayer has entered." And Imam عليه السلام said: "When the time of an obligatory prayer enters, begin with it."
