Performing Optional Salah (Prayer) at the Time of Obligatory Salah (Prayer) and the Times Not to Perform Salah (Prayer)

۞
7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from a number of our people who has said the following
“They had heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), say, ‘’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), would not perform Salah (prayer) during the day until Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime). During the night he would not perform any Salah (prayer) after al-‘Isha’ up until midnight. It means that it is not time for obligatory or optional Salah (prayer); the Messenger of Allah has defined all times. However, to perform a make-up for obligatory or performing optional Salah (prayer) before or after is not harmful.’”
7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لاَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ وَلاَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ مَا يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ حَتَّى يَنْتَصِفَ اللَّيْلُ. مَعْنَى هَذَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ وَقْتَ صَلاَةِ فَرِيضَةٍ وَلاَ سُنَّةٍ لأَنَّ الأوْقَاتَ كُلَّهَا قَدْ بَيَّنَهَا رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَأَمَّا الْقَضَاءُ قَضَاءُ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَتَقْدِيمُ النَّوَافِلِ وَتَأْخِيرُهَا فَلاَ بَأْسَ.
