Chapter on the Detailed Explanation of Prayer, Including the Obligatory and Recommended, and What is Permissible and Not Permissible.
رَوَى أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ رَوَى لِي جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ مَشَايِخِنَا عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْأَسَدِيِّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّهُ وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا وَرَدَ مِنْ جَوَابِ مَسَائِلِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ اَلْعَمْرِيِّ قَدَّسَ اَللَّهُ رُوحَهُ« وَأَمَّا مَا سَأَلْتَ عَنْهُ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا فَلَئِنْ كَانَ يَقُولُ اَلنَّاسُ إِنَّ اَلشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ وَ تَغْرُبُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ فَمَا أُرْغِمَ أَنْفُ اَلشَّيْطَانِ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَصَلِّهَا وَ أَرْغِمِ اَلشَّيْطَانَ»
Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn Ali narrated: A group of our elders narrated to me (narrator) from Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Asadi, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى be pleased with him, that among the responses received to his questions from Muhammad ibn Uthman al-’Amri, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى sanctify his soul, regarding the questions he had sent, was: "As for what you asked about, prayer at the time of sunrise and at the time of sunset, even if people say that the sun rises between the horns of Satan and sets between the horns of Satan, then there is nothing by which the nose of Satan is more forcefully rubbed in humiliation than prayer. So perform the prayer and humiliate Satan."
