[8] عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ...

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, (It has been narrated) from Umar Bin Yazeed having heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘During the night there is a time what is compatible for a submissive servant to pray Salāt and supplicate to Allah -azwj during it, except that it would be Answered to him during every night’. I said, ‘May Allah -azwj Keep you -asws well!

So which time from the night is it?’ He -asws said: ‘When half the night passes by, during the first sixth of the remaining half’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Aban Bin Usman, from Ismail Al-Ju’fy who said, ‘Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘The best way of fulfilling the optional ( Salāts ) is fulfilling the (outstanding) night ones at night and the (outstanding) day ones at daytime’. I said, ‘So, can there be two Al-Witr ( Salāts ) at night?’ He -asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘And why not? You -asws are ordering me that I pray one Witr (Salāt) and two Witr ( Salāts ) in one night’.

So he -asws said: ‘One of the two is a fulfilment (of an outstanding one)’.
