Hadith 67

(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ – It is reported, From Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws, both having said: ‘Do not pray an optional Salat while upon you is an obligatory (Salat) missed out by you, until you have fulfilled the obligatory’’. [101]
And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj does not Accept an optional (Salat) except after fulfilment of the obligatory’. A man said to him-asws, ‘And how is that so? May I be sacrificed for you-asws! ’
He-asws said: ‘What is your view if there were to be a day (of fasting) from a Month of Ramazan, would it be for you to (fast) voluntary until you fulfil it? ’
He said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Like that is the Salat’. The compiler of ‘Al Da’aim’ said, ‘And this is regarding the missed ones, or in the end timing of the Salat when the praying one begins with the optional, the time of Salat is missed by him, so upon him is to begin with the obligatory. As for it being during the first of the timing whereby it is sufficient to pray the option, then the obligatory comes across during its timing, he can pray it’’. [102]
And from him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Ali-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww descended in one of his journeys in a valley and spent the night at it. He‑saww said: ‘Who will guard us tonight? ’
Bilal said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww slept and the people all slept. Nothing woke them up except heat of the sun. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘What is this, O Bilal? ’
He said, ‘My soul was Taken by the One-azwj Who Took your souls, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Move away from this valley in which you have been hit by this heedlessness, for you have slept in a valley of Satan-la! ’
Then he-saww performed Wud’u, and the people performed Wud’u, and he-saww instructed Bilal, then he-saww proclaimed Azaan and prayed two Cycles of al Fajr, then stood and prayed Al-Fajr’’. [103]
And from him, from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Those who are constant upon their Salat [70: 23]. He-asws said: ‘This is regarding the voluntary (Salats). One who preserves upon it and fulfils whatever he missed out from it’’. [104]
And he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws was doing that. He-asws fulfil at daytime what he‑asws missed out at night, and at night what he-asws had missed out at daytime’’. [105]
And from him-asws having said: ‘One who works a deed from the good deeds, let him be constant upon it for a year and not cut it with anything besides it’’.
