6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mutahhar who wrote to Abu Muhammad (a.s.), and informed him (the Imam) about a Hadith about the Prophet (sw). It said that he (the Prophet) performed thirteen Rak‘at prayers including al-Witr and the two Rak‘at morning prayer during the nights in the month of Ramadan. He (the Imam) wrote, ‘May Allah break his (narrator’s) mouth. He (the Prophet), during the month of Ramadan in the first twenty nights, performed twenty Rak‘ats every night. He performed eight Rak‘ats after maghrib prayer and twelve after 'isha’ prayer. He would peform ghusl on the nineteenth, twenty-first and twenty-third nights. In those nights, he performed one hundred Rak‘at prayers. In each Rak‘at he recited the Fatiha of the Book (Surah 1) and
"Qul huwa Allahu ahad" (Surah 112) ten times. He would perform thirty Rak‘at in the remaining nights to the end of the month, as I have explained for you.’
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُطَهَّرٍ
أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يُخْبِرُهُ بِمَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْهَا الْوَتْرُ وَرَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَضَّ الله فَاهُ صَلَّى مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً ثَمَانِيَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَاثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةِ وَاغْتَسَلَ لَيْلَةَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَلَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةَ ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَصَلَّى فِيهِمَا ثَلاثِينَ رَكْعَةً اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ بَعْدَ عِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ وَصَلَّى فِيهِمَا مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَصَلَّى إِلَى آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ ثَلاثِينَ رَكْعَةً كَمَا فَسَّرْتُ لَكَ.
