وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فَرَجٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى اَلْعَبْدِ اَلصَّالِحِ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ« وَ صَلِّ بَعْدَ اَلْعَصْرِ مِنَ اَلنَّوَافِلِ مَا شِئْتَ وَ صَلِّ بَعْدَ اَلْغَدَاةِ مِنَ اَلنَّوَافِلِ مَا شِئْتَ»
And from him, from Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Abi Ja’far, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, from Maymun, from Muhammad ibn Faraj, who said: I wrote to the Righteous Servant (al Abd al-Salih عليه السلام) asking Him عليه السلام about certain issues. Imam عليه السلام wrote back to me: "Pray as many ‘nafilah’ (supererogatory) prayers as you wish after ‘Asr, and pray as many ‘nafilah’ prayers as you wish after the morning (‘al-ghadah’) prayer."
