Imam (as) said: "The prayer is on the day of Jumu’ah, and the dispersal is on the day

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‌ وَ إِذا ضَرَبْتُمْ‌ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلاةِ فَصَارَ التَّقْصِيرُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَاجِباً كَوُجُوبِ التَّمَامِ فِي الْحَضَرِ قَالا قُلْنَا إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ‌ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ افْعَلُوا فَكَيْفَ أَوْجَبَ ذَلِكَ كَمَا أَوْجَبَ التَّمَامَ فِي الْحَضَرِ فَقَالَ ع أَ وَ لَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّه

أَمَّا إِذَا قَرَأَ فَنَعَمْ وَ أَمَّا إِذَا أَوْمَأَ بِوَجْهِهِ لِلسُّجُودِ فَلْيَكْشِفْهُ حَيْثُ مَا أَوْمَأَتْ بِهِ الدَّابَّةُ[3].

لَهُ‌ مَتَى فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَا هِيَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ ظَهَرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ وَ قَوِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْجِهَادَ زَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَبْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي الظُّهْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ فِي الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَةً وَ فِي الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَقَرَّ ا

Hadith.1319 - Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib asked Ali ibn al-Hussain (as), "When was the prayer made obligatory upon the Muslims in the form it is today?"

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‌[3] لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ‌ إِذَا عَزَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ[4] فَقُلِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْراها وَ مُرْساها[5] إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‌ فَإِذَا اضْطَرَبَ بِكَ الْبَحْرُ فَاتَّكِ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ قُلْ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اللَّهِ وَ قِرَّ بِقَرَارِ اللَّهِ وَ اهْدَأْ[6] بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّة

Hadith.1329 - Abu Ja'far (as) said to some of his companions: "When Allah (swt) grants you the opportunity to embark on the sea, recite what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'In the Name of Allah (swt) shall be its sailing and its anchoring; indeed, my Lord (azj) is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful' (Qur'an 11:4

قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِذَا تَوَسَّدَ الرَّجُلُ يَمِينَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَجَّهْتُ‌

Hadith.1351 - Al-'Ala reported from Muhammad ibn Muslim that Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said to me: "When a man places his right side (for sleep), he should say: 'In the Name of Allah (swt). O’ Allah (swt), I have submitted my soul to You, turned my face towards You, entrusted my affairs to You, and placed my

لَهُ‌ اقْرَأْ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ‌ عِنْدَ مَنَامِكَ فَإِنَّهَا بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ‌[2] وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ نِسْبَةُ الرَّبِّ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

"Recite 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) and ‘Qul ya-ayyuhal kaafirun’ (Surah al-Kafirun) before you sleep, for they are a declaration of freedom from shirk (associating partners with Allah (swt)), and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) affirms the nature of the Lord (azj), Mighty and Majestic."

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‌- مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ- قُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحى‌ إِلَيَّ أَنَّما إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ إِلَى آخِرِهَا سَطَعَ لَهُ نُورٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ‌[1] حَشْوُ ذَلِكَ النُّورِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ‌[2].

Hadith.1355 - The Prophet (sw) said: "Whoever recites this verse before sleeping: 'Say, I am only a man like you, to whom it has been revealed that your God is One God' (Surah al-Kahf 18:110) until the end of the verse, a light will shine for him to the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram), filled with angels who seek forgi

لَمْ يَقُلْ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا[4] إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً فَسَقَطَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيْتُ.

"No one has ever recited, when intending to sleep : 'Indeed, Allah (swt) holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease, and if they should cease, no one could hold them [in place] after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing and Forgiving' (Qur'an 35:41) without being protected, such that even if a house were to collapse upon

إِنَّ الْبُيُوتَ الَّتِي يُصَلَّى فِيهَا بِاللَّيْلِ بِتِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ‌[2] تُضِي‌ءُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ كَمَا تُضِي‌ءُ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ.

"Indeed, the houses in which the Qur'an is recited during the night and where prayer is performed shine for the inhabitants of the heavens just as the stars of the sky shine for the inhabitants of the earth."

إِنِّي لَأَمْقُتُ الرَّجُلَ يَأْتِينِي فَيَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ عَمَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَيَقُولُ أَزِيدُ كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَصَّرَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ وَ إِنِّي لَأَمْقُتُ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ‌[3] ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَقُومُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَامَ يُبَادِرُهُ بِصَلَاتِهِ.

"I despise a man who comes to me asking about the actions of the Messenger of Allah (sw) and then says, 'Should I add more?' as if he sees that the Messenger of Allah (sw) was lacking in something. And I despise a man who has read the Qur'an and then wakes up during the night but does not rise (for prayer) until, when

مَا نَوَى عَبْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ نَوَى فَعَلِمَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا وَكَّلَ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ يُحَرِّكَانِهِ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ.

"There is no servant who intends to rise (for prayer) at any hour they intend, and Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, knows this intention from them, except that He assigns two angels to move them at that hour."

«إِذَا قُمْتَ مِنْ فِرَاشِكَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أُفُقِ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ قُلِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي رَدَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحِي أَعْبُدُهُ وَ أَحْمَدُهُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُوَارِي مِنْكَ لَيْلٌ سَاجٍ وَ لاَ سَمَاءٌ ذَاتُ أَبْرَاجٍ وَ لاَ أَرْضٌ ذَاتُ مِهَادٍ وَ لاَ «كَظُلُمٰاتٍ بَعْضُهٰا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ» وَ لاَ بَحْرٌ لُجِّيٌّ يُدْلِجُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اَلْمُدْلِجِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ تَعْلَمُ «خٰائِنَةَ اَلْأَعْيُنِ وَ مٰا تُخْفِ

Hadith.1390 - In another report from Abu Ja'far (as), He said: "When you rise from your bed, look to the horizon of the sky and say: Alhamdu lillahi alladhi radda ‘alayya roohi, a‘buduhu wa ahmaduhu.Allahumma, innahu laa yuwari minka laylun saajin, wa laa samaa’un dhatu abraaj, wa laa ardun dhatu mihaad, wa laa kaẓulum

لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَنَامُونَ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ لَا بُدَّ لِهَذَا الْبَدَنِ أَنْ تُرِيحَهُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ نَفْسُهُ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ النَّفْسُ اسْتَرَاحَ الْبَدَنُ وَ رَجَعَتِ الرُّوحُ فِيهِ وَ فِيهِ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ فَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرَهُمْ فَقَالَ- تَتَجافى‌ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً أُنْزِلَتْ فِي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِ

Hadith.1391 - Abu Ubaydah al-Haddha’ reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted, "Their sides forsake their beds" (Surah As-Sajdah 32:16). Abu Ja’far (as) said: "Perhaps you think that these people did not sleep?" I replied: "Allah (swt) and His Messenger know best

Hadith.1424 - Do not neglect to recite 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) and ‘Qul ya-ayyuhal kaafirun’ (Surah al-Kafirun) in seven positions: in the first two Rak'ahs of the Night Prayer, in the two Rak'ahs before Fajr, in the two Rak'ahs of Dhuha (mid-morning), in the two Rak'ahs after Maghrib, in the two Rak'a

Hadith.1451 - Muammar ibn Khallad narrated from Imam al-Ridha (as) that when he was in Khurasan, after performing the Fajr prayer, he would sit in his prayer place until the sun rose. Then, a pouch containing miswaks (tooth-cleaning sticks) would be brought to him, and he would use them one by one. Afterward, he would
