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”.
