قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ عَمَّاراً السَّابَاطِيَّ رَوَى عَنْكَ رِوَايَةً قَالَ وَ مَا هِيَ قُلْتُ رَوَى أَنَّ السُّنَّةَ فَرِيضَةٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثْتُهُ إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ صَلَّى فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَهُ فِيهَا أَوْ لَمْ يَسْهُ فِيهَا أَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَرُبَّمَا رُفِعَ نِصْفُهَا أَوْ رُبُعُهَا أَوْ ثُلُثُهَا أَوْ خُمُسُهَا وَ إِنَّمَا أَمَرْنَا بِالسُّنَّةِ لِيَكْمُلَ بِهَا مَا ذَهَبَ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Ammar Al-Sabaty reported from you<sup>asws</sup> a report’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is it?’ I said, ‘He reported that the <span class="iTxt">Sunnah</span> is a necessity’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Where is he going? Where is he going? It is not like this. I<sup>asws</sup> narrated to him, rather I<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘The one who prays and is devoted upon his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, not discussing with himself therein, or does not omit (anything) therein, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Devote upon him what he devoted upon it. So, sometimes a half of it is Raised, or a quarter of it, or a third of it, or a fifth of it, and rather we<sup>asws</sup> are ordering with the <span class="iTxt">Sunnah</span> for it (the Sunnah <span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline">Salāt</span>) to (make it) perfect by it what had gone (deficient) from the Obligatory (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>)’.
