Chapter on the Virtue of the Month of Ramadan and the Prayers Within It in Addition to the Recommended Prayers Mentioned in the Other Months

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ« ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْهَا اَلْوَتْرُ وَرَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ اَلْفَجْرِ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يُصَلِّي وَ لَوْ كَانَ فَضْلاً لَكَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَعْمَلَ بِهِ وَ أَحَقَّ»
And from him, from Hammad, from Abdillah ibn al-Mughirah, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the prayer in the Month of Ramadan. Imam عليه السلام said: “Thirteen rak’ahs among them the Witr and two rak’ahs before the Fajr prayer. That is how the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, used to pray. And if there had been any virtue in more than that, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, would have practiced it and been more entitled to it.”
