6ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ شَرِيفِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) خَيْرُ وَقْتٍ دَعَوْتُمُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ الأسْحَارُ وَتَلا هَذِهِ الآيَةَ فِي قَوْلِ يَعْقُوبَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) ﴿سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّي﴾ وَقَالَ أَخَّرَهُمْ إِلَى السَّحَرِ.
6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Khalid from Sharif Ibn Sabiq from al-Fadl Ibn Abu Qurrah from Abu ‘Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) that Rasulullah (sw) said: "The best time to supplicate to Allah (azwj) is during the pre-dawn hours (Al-Asḥār)." Then he recited this verse from the words of Ya'qub (as): «I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord» (12:98) and he (the Prophet) said, "He delayed them until pre-dawn hours (to pray for them)."
