حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَإِسْرَائِيلُ وَأَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا عَنْ تَطَوُّعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالنَّهَارِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَهُ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: أَخْبِرْنَا بِهِ نَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ مَا أَطَقْنَا، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ أَمْهَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا - يَعْنِي: مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ - مِقْدَارُهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا - مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ -، قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا - يَعْنِي: مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ - مِقْدَارُهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا - يَعْنِي: مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ - قَامَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعًا، وَأَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا، وَأَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ، وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَقَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: تِلْكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَقَلَّ مَنْ يُدَاوِمُ عَلَيْهَا

✧ We asked 'Ali about the Prophet's ﷺ voluntary prayers during the day. He said: 'You will not be able to keep them up.' We said: Tell us about them; we will take from them what we can. He said: When the Prophet ﷺ prayed Fajr, he would wait until the sun, from here—meaning from the east—was at the height it would be at the time of 'Asr from here—meaning from the west—then he would stand and pray two rak'ahs. Then he would wait until the sun, from here—meaning from the east—was at the height it would be at the time of Zuhr from here—meaning from the west—then he would stand and pray four rak'ahs. And four rak'ahs before Zuhr when the sun declined, two rak'ahs after it, and four rak'ahs before 'Asr, separating between each two rak'ahs with the greeting of peace upon the angels closest to God, the prophets, and those who followed them among the believers and Muslims. He said: 'Ali said: Those are sixteen rak'ahs, the voluntary prayers of the Prophet ﷺ during the day, and few are those who maintain them.
