Hadith.601 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said regarding the words of Allah (swt),: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed decree" (Surah An-Nisa 4:103). Imam (as) said: "It means obligatory (prescribed)”.

Hadith.602 - Imam (as) said: "When the Messenger of Allah (sw), was taken on the Night Journey (Miraj), his Lord (azj) commanded him with fifty prayers. As he passed by each of the prophets, none of them asked him anything until he reached Musa ibn Imran (as). Musa (as) asked: 'What did your Lord (azj) command you?' He (sw) replied: 'Fifty prayers.' He (Musa (as)) requested: 'Ask your Lord (azj) for a reduction, for your Ummah will not be able to bear that.' So He (sw) asked his Lord (azj), and it was reduced by ten. Then He passed by the Prophets again, one by one, without them asking Him anything, until He came to Musa (as), son of Imran, who (again) asked: "What did your Lord (azj) command you?" He (sw) said: "Forty prayers." He (Musa (as)) requested: "Ask your Lord (azj) for a relief, for your nation cannot bear that." So He asked his Lord (azj), and it was reduced by ten. Then He (sw) passed by the Prophets again, one by one, and they did not ask him anything until he reached Musa (as), son of Imran, who (again) asked: "What did your Lord (azj) command you?" He (sw) said: "Thirty prayers," He (Musa (as)) requested: "Ask your Lord (azj) for a relief, for your nation cannot bear that." So He (sw) asked his Lord (azj), and it was reduced by ten. Then He (sw) passed by the Prophets again, one by one, and they did not ask him anything until he reached Musa (as), son of Imran, who (again) asked: "What did your Lord (azj) command you?" He (sw) said: "Twenty prayers." He (Musa (as)) requested: "Ask your Lord (azj) for a relief, for your nation cannot bear that." So He (sw) asked his Lord (azj), and it was reduced by ten. Then He (sw) passed by the Prophets again, one by one, and they did not ask him anything until he reached Musa (as), son of Imran, who (again) asked: "What did your Lord (azj) command you?" He (sw) said: "Ten prayers." He (Musa (as)) requested: "Ask your Lord (azj) for a relief, for your nation cannot bear that." Musa (as) continued: "I came to the people of Bani Israel with what Allah (swt), the Exalted, had made obligatory upon them, but they did not accept it or agree to it." So Prophet (sw), asked his Lord (azj), the Exalted, and it was reduced further for him, making it five. Then He (sw) passed by the Prophets again, one by one, and they did not ask him anything until he reached Musa (as), son of Imran, who (again) asked: "What did your Lord (azj) command you?" He (sw) said: "Five prayers." He (Musa (as)) requested: "Ask your Lord (azj) for a relief, for your nation cannot bear that." He (sw) replied: 'I feel shy to ask my Lord (azj) again.' And thus the Messenger of Allah (sw) returned with the command for five prayers. The Messenger of Allah (sw) said: 'May Allah (swt) reward Musa ibn Imran with good on behalf of my Ummah’. And Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "'May Allah (swt) reward Musa ibn Imran with good on our behalf”.

Hadith.603 – It is narrated from Zaid ibn Ali ibn al-Hussain (as) who said: "I asked my father, the Master of the Worshippers (Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as)), saying, 'O’ my father, inform me about our grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (sw), when he was taken up to the heavens and his Lord (azj) commanded him with fifty prayers. Why did he not ask for a reduction for his community until Musa (as) said to him, "Return to your Lord (azj) and ask for a reduction, for your community will not be able to bear this"?' Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (as) said: 'O’ my son, the Messenger of Allah (sw) does not propose or make demands from his Lord (azj), nor does he dispute any command He gives him. However, when Musa (as) suggested it and became an intercessor on behalf of his community, it was not appropriate for him to refuse the intercession of his brother Musa. So he returned to his Lord (azj) and asked for a reduction until it was reduced to five prayers.' I then said: 'O’ my father, why did he not return to his Lord (azj) and ask for a reduction from five prayers, even though Musa had suggested that?' Imam (as) said: 'O’ my son, The Prophet (sw) wished to ensure a lightening of the burden while preserving the reward of fifty prayers for his community, as Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, says, "Whoever brings a good deed shall have ten times its like" (Suran Al-An’am 6:160). Do you not see that when he returned to the earth, Archangel Jibril (as) descended to him and said: "O’ Muhammad, your Lord (azj) sends you greetings and says: Indeed, they are five (prayers) equating to fifty (in reward). No word is changed with Me, and I am not unjust to My servants."' I said: 'O’ my father, is not Allah (swt), the Glorified, beyond being confined to a place?' Imam (as) said: 'Yes, Allah (swt) is far above such limitations.' I then asked: 'So what is the meaning of Musa’s statement to the Messenger of Allah (sw), "Return to your Lord (azj)"?' Imam (as) said: 'It means the same as Ibrahim’s statement (as): "Indeed, I will go to my Lord (azj); He will guide me" (Surah As-Saffat 37:99), and Musa’s statement: "I hastened to You, my Lord (azj), so that You might be pleased" (Surah Taha 20:84), and Allah’s (swt) words: "So flee to Allah (swt)" (Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:50), which means pilgrimage to the House of Allah (swt). O’ my son, the Kaaba is the House of Allah (swt), and whoever performs Hajj to the House of Allah (swt) has sought Allah (swt). The mosques are the Houses of Allah (swt), so whoever strives toward them strives toward Allah (swt) and intends Him. While praying, one is standing in the presence of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Verily, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, has realms in His heavens, and whoever is taken up to one of these realms is taken up to Him. Do you not hear Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, say: "The angels and the spirit ascend to Him" (Surah Al-Ma’arij 70:4) and in the story of Isa (Jesus (as)): "But Allah (swt) raised him to Himself" (Surah An-Nisa 4:158), and He says: "To Him ascend good words, and He raises righteous deeds" (Surah Fatir 35:10).'

604 - وَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: « «مَنْ كٰانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَ اَلْيَوْمِ اَلْآخِرِ» فَلاَ يَبِيتَنَّ إِلاَّ بِوَتْرٍ.

Hadith.604 The Prophet, said: "Whoever believes in Allah (swt) and the Last Day should not sleep except in a state of Witr (having performed the Witr prayer)”.

605 - وَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كَانَ اَلَّذِي فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى اَلْعِبَادِ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ فِيهِنَّ اَلْقِرَاءَةُ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ وَهْمٌ يَعْنِي سَهْوٌ فَزَادَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ سَبْعاً وَ فِيهِنَّ اَلسَّهْوُ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ اَلْقِرَاءَةُ فَمَنْ شَكَّ فِي اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ أَعَادَ حَتَّى يَحْفَظَ وَ يَكُونَ عَلَى يَقِينٍ وَ مَنْ شَكَّ فِي اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ عَمِلَ بِالْوَهْمِ.

Hadith.605 - Zurarah ibn A'yan narrated that Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "What Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, initially made obligatory upon His servants were ten rak'ahs (units of prayer), in which there is recitation and no room for doubt (meaning no room for forgetfulness or error). The Messenger of Allah (sw) added seven rak'ahs, in which forgetfulness may occur but there is no obligatory recitation. So, whoever doubts during the first two (rak'ahs) must repeat (the prayer) until they are certain. However, if one doubts in the last two (rak'ahs), they should act according to their assumption."

606 - وَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلُ: قُلْنَا لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ رَأَيْتَ قَوْلَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «۝ إِنَّ اَلصَّلاٰةَ كٰانَتْ عَلَى اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتٰاباً مَوْقُوتاً ۝» قَالَ «يَعْنِي كِتَاباً مَفْرُوضاً وَ لَيْسَ يَعْنِي وَقْتَ فَوْتِهَا إِنْ جَازَ ذَلِكَ اَلْوَقْتَ ثُمَّ صَلاَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلاَةً مُؤَدَّاةً وَ لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ لَهَلَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حِينَ صَلاَّهَا بِغَيْرِ وَقْتِهَا وَ لَكِنَّهُ مَتَى مَا ذَكَرَهَا صَلاَّهَا.

Hadith.606 – Zurarah and Al-Fudail said: "We asked Abu Ja'far (Imam al-Baqir (as)) about the statement of Allah (swt), the Mighty Majestic: 'Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a timed decree' (Surah An-Nisa 4:103). Imam (as) replied: "It means that it is an obligatory decree (prescribed prayer) and does not refer to a specific cut-off time after which it would not be valid. If one misses the prescribed time and then performs the prayer, it would not be considered a timely (adā') prayer. If this were so, then Sulayman ibn Dawud (Solomon (as)) would have been destroyed when he prayed outside its prescribed time, but rather, whenever he remembered it, he performed it."

607 - مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِالْعَشِيِّ اَلْخَيْلُ فَاشْتَغَلَ بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ رُدُّوا اَلشَّمْسَ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ صَلاَتِي فِي وَقْتِهَا فَرَدُّوهَا فَقَامَ فَمَسَحَ سَاقَيْهِ وَ عُنُقَهُ وَ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ اَلَّذِينَ فَاتَتْهُمُ اَلصَّلاَةُ مَعَهُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ وُضُوءَهُمْ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ غَابَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ طَلَعَتِ اَلنُّجُومُ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «۝ وَ وَهَبْنٰا لِدٰاوُدَ سُلَيْمٰانَ نِعْمَ اَلْعَبْدُ إِنَّهُ أَوّٰابٌ `إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ اَلصّٰافِنٰاتُ اَلْجِيٰادُ فَقٰالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ اَلْخَيْرِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتّٰى تَوٰارَتْ بِالْحِجٰابِ رُدُّوهٰا عَلَيَّ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحاً بِالسُّوقِ وَ اَلْأَعْنٰاقِ ۝»

Hadith.607 - It is narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "One afternoon, horses were presented before Sulayman ibn Dawud (Solomon (as)), and he became preoccupied with viewing them until the sun set behind the veil (of night). He then said to the angels, 'Return the sun to me so that I may perform my prayer within its proper time,' and they returned it. He then stood and wiped his legs and neck (as an act of preparation for prayer) and commanded his companions, who had also missed the prayer, to do the same. This was their purification (wudu) for the prayer. He then performed his prayer, and once he finished, the sun set, and the stars appeared. This is the meaning of Allah’s (swt) words: 'And We granted to Dawud, Sulayman; an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Us]. When there were displayed before him in the afternoon the poised standing racehorses, He said: "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good things over the remembrance of my Lord (azj) until it (the sun) disappeared behind the veil." [He said], "Return them to me," and he began to pass his hand over their legs and necks.' (Surah Sad 38:30-33).

في أيامه صلى الله عليه وآله: 610 - فَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ نَائِمٌ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ رَأْسُهُ فِي حَجْرِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَفَاتَتْهُ اَلْعَصْرُ حَتَّى غَابَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ « اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً كَانَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ فَارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ اَلشَّمْسَ » قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَرَأَيْتُهَا وَ اَللَّهِ غَرَبَتْ ثُمَّ طَلَعَتْ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتْ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ جَبَلٌ وَ لاَ أَرْضٌ إِلاَّ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَ صَلَّى ثُمَّ غَرَبَتْ.

As for during His days: Hadith.610 - It is narrated from Asma bint Umais that She said: "One day, while the Messenger of Allah (sw) was resting with his head in the lap of Ali (as), the Asr prayer passed, and the sun had set. The Prophet (sw) said: 'O’ Allah (swt), Ali was engaged in obedience to You and Your Messenger, so return the sun for him.' Asma said: 'By Allah (swt), I saw the sun set, then it rose again after it had set, and no mountain or land remained except that it was illuminated by its light until Ali (as) stood, performed ablution, and prayed. Then the sun set again.'".
