[16] The Number of Rakats in Night Salat: عنه، عن محمد بن اسماعيل بن بزيع، عن محمد بن يسير، عن عبد الله بن عمر الخثعمي، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: إني أصلي الزوال ستة وأصلى بالليل ستة عشر ركعة قال: اذن تخالف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله كان يصلي الزوال ثمان ركعات وصلوة الليل ثمان ركعات فقلت: قد أعرف أن هذا هكذا ولكني أقضى الايام الخالية.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Muhammad Bin Yaseyr, from Abdullah Bin Umar Al Khash’amy, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘I Pray six (Cycles) in the afternoon, and I Pray sixteen Rak’at (Cycles) at night’. He -asws said: ‘Then, you have opposed the Sunnah of Rasool-Allah -saww . Rasool-Allah -saww was Praying eight Cycles in the afternoon, and eight Cycles at night’.

So I said, ‘I understood this to be like this, but I fulfilled the lapsed days’. [17] What to be Recited in the Night Salat?

Rasool Allah -saww said in his -saww will to Ali -asws : O Ali -asws it is essential that you -asws offer Night Salat, in the first Rak’at recite Sura-e-Alhamd (Chapter 1) and Sura-e-Qul ho Walla ho Ahad (Chapter 112), in the second Rak’at recite Sura-e-Alhamd and Sura-e-Qul Ya Aiyohal Al-Kafaroon (Chapter 109) and then you recite in the remaining six Rak’ats as you like the long verses or the short verses.
