Al-Kafi 4894

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from a number of our companions, (It has been narrated) they heard Abu Ja’far^asws saying: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws did not pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> from the day until the midday, nor from the night after having had prayed Al-Isha the last, until midnight’. The meaning of this is that it is neither a time for an Obligatory <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> nor a Sunnah, because all of the timings were clarified by Rasool-Allah^saww. So as for ‘الْقَضَاءُ’ the lapse, so it is a الْقَضَاءُ for the Obligatory (<span class="iTxt">Salāts</span> missed out), and bringing forward the Optional and delaying it, there is not problem’.<a id="_ftnref1084"></a>^[1084] (This is a comment) Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, raising it, said, ‘A man said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘The Hadeeth which is reported from Abu Ja’far^asws that the sun emerges from between the two horns of the Satan^la’. He^asws said: ‘Yes. Iblees^la takes a throne between the sky and the earth. So when the sun emerges and the people perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> during that time, Iblees^la says to his^la devils, ‘The children of Adam^as are praying to me^la’.
