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

وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْأَحْمَرِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ فِي أَوَّلِ اَللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ« نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ وَ نِعْمَ مَا صَنَعْتَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ« إِنَّ اَلشَّابَّ يُكْثِرُ اَلنَّوْمَ فَأَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ»
And from him, from Ibn Muskan, from Ya’qub al-Ahmar, who said: I asked Him عليه السلام about performing the night prayer at the beginning of the night. Imam عليه السلام said: "Excellent is what you have seen, and excellent is what you have done." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the youth sleeps a lot, so I command you to do this."
