5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I have made it upon myself to perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) as thanksgiving to Allah at home or on a journey’ if on a journey I can perform them during the day. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘I dislike a man’s making it obligatory upon himself.’ I then said, ‘I have not made them for Allah but I have made it upon myself to perform the two Rak‘at to thank Allah and I have not made it obligatory on myself if I can stop performing them when I wanted. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so.’”
