Al-Kafi 5570

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Muawiya Bin Wahab, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I said to him^asws, ‘A man from the ones in your^asws Wilayah, from their righteous ones, complained to me of what he faced from the sleep, and said, ‘I intend to stand to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> at night, but the sleep overcomes me until morning, and sometimes I fulfil my (missed out) <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of the month consecutively, and for the two months, bearing patiently upon its heaviness’’. So he^asws said: ‘A delight for his eyes, by Allah^azwj!’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he^asws did not permit for him regarding the (fulfilling of the outstanding) <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> during the first part of the night, and said: ‘The fulfilment at daytime is superior’. I said, ‘But there are virgins of our womenfolk, the young girls who love the goodness and its performance, and are covetous upon the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, but the sleep overcomes them until sometimes they fulfil, and sometimes they are too weak from fulfilling it, and they are strong upon it at the beginning of the night’. So he^asws permitted for them with regard to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> at the beginning of the night when they were too weak and wasting the fulfilment’.
