12-67 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Ishaq onthe authority of Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Maymun , on the authority of Abi Hashim
“I asked Abil Hassan Al-Hadi (MGB), ‘Why is it that there are fifty units of obligatory and supererogatory prayers each day and night and no more or less?’ He (MGB) replied, ‘There are twelve hours in each night and there is an hour from dawn until sunrise. There are also twelve hours in each day (which adds up to twenty-four plus one). There are two units for each hour. The time from sunset to darkness is called Al-Qasq.”
12-67 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى، عن إبراهيم بن إسحاق، عن محمد بن الحسن بن ميمون، عـن أبـيهاشم قال
قلت لابي الحسن الماضي عليه السلام لم جعلت الصلاة الفريضة والسنة خمسين ركعة لا يزاد فيها ولا ينقص منها قال: إن ساعات الليل اثنتا عشرة ساعة وفيما بين طلوع الفجر إلى طلوع الشمس ساعة، وساعات النهار اثنتا عشرة ساعة فجعل لكل ساعة ركعتين وما بين غروب الشمس إلى سقوط القرص غسق
