قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي كَثِيرُ السَّهْوِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ وَ هَلْ يَسْلَمُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَظُنُّ أَحَداً أَكْثَرَ سَهْواً مِنِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ يُرْفَعُ لَهُ ثُلُثُ صَلَاتِهِ وَ نِصْفُهَا وَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَرْبَاعِهَا وَ أَقَلُّ وَ أَكْثَرُ عَلَى قَدْرِ سَهْوِهِ فِيهَا لَكِنَّهُ يَتِمُّ لَهُ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ مَا أَرَى النَّوَافِلَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُتْرَكَ عَلَى حَالٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَجَلْ لَا .
Translation
And frm him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘A man said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I heard, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I frequently make mistakes in the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And has there anyone ever been safe from it?’ So he said, ‘I don’t think anyone would have more mistakes than me’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The servant, there is Raised for him a third of his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, and a half of it, and three-quarters of it, and less, and more, upon a measurement of his omission therein, but it is completed for him (when he offers) the optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>)’. So Abu Baseer said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I do not see that the optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) should be left upon any state’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, it should not’.
