سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ صَلَاةُ النَّهَارِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً ثَمَانٌ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ ثَمَانٌ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ يَا حَارِثُ لَا تَدَعْهُنَّ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ لَا حَضَرٍ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ كَانَ أَبِي يُصَلِّيهِمَا وَ هُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَ أَنَا أُصَلِّيهِمَا وَ أَنَا قَائِمٌ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ .
Translation
From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Al Haris Bin Mugheira Al Nasry who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘A <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of the daytime is of sixteen <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> – eight being when the sun (starts to) decline, and eight After <span class="iTxt">Al Zohr</span>, and four <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> after <span class="iTxt">Al- Maghrib</span>. O Haris! Do not leave these, neither during a journey nor staying; and the two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> of <span class="iTxt">Al Isha</span> the last, my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> was praying these two while he<sup>asws</sup> was seated, and I<sup>asws</sup> pray these two while I<sup>asws</sup> am standing; and it was so that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> used to pray thirteen <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, from night time’.
