5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ’Isma‘il al-Al-Ju‘fiy who has said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The best compensatory prayer for a Salah (prayer) missed is the compensatory prayer during the night for what is missed during the night and what is missed during the day is made during the day.’ I then said, ’So there will be two al-Witr in one night.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, there will not be two al-Witr.’ I then said, ‘Why then do you instruct me to perform two al-Witr in one night?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One of them is a compensatory prayer for what is missed.’”
5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَفْضَلُ قَضَاءِ النَّوَافِلِ قَضَاءُ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَصَلاَةِ النَّهَارِ بِالنَّهَارِ قُلْتُ فَيَكُونُ وَتْرَانِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ وَلِمَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُوتِرَ وَتْرَيْنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَحَدُهُمَا قَضَاءٌ.
