كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ فِي الدَّارِ تَمْنَعُهُ حِيطَانُهَا النَّظَرَ إِلَى حُمْرَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ مَعْرِفَةَ مَغِيبِ الشَّفَقِ وَ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ مَتَى يُصَلِّيهَا وَ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) يُصَلِّيهَا إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصِّفَةِ عِنْدَ قَصْرَةِ النُّجُومِ وَ الْمَغْرِبَ عِنْدَ اشْتِبَاكِهَا وَ بَيَاضُ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ قَصْرَةُ النُّجُومِ إِلَى بَيَانِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin A Rayyan who said, ‘I wrote to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man happens to be in the house the walls of which prevent him from looking at the redness of Al-Maghrib and recognising the disappearance of the twilight, and the time for <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of Al-Isha the last (Salāt). When should he pray it, and how should he deal with it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘He should pray it when it was upon these descriptions during the abundance of the stars (being visible); and Al-Maghrib is during its clashing, and whiteness of the disappearance of the sun, a few stars, up to its clarity’.
