So he -asws said: ‘The Prophet -saww used to pray eight Rak’at at midday, and four of the first ( Al-Al-Zohr ) and eight ( Rak’at ) after it, and four ( Rak’at ) of Al-Al-Asr , and three ( Rak’at of Al-Maghrib), and four ( Rak’at ) after Al-Al-Maghrib , and Al-Al-Isha the last being four ( Rak’at ), and eight ( Rak’at ) at night, and three ( Rak’at ) of Al- Witr , and two ( Rak’at ) of Al-Fajr , and the morning Salāt as two Rak’at ’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا يُعَذِّبُنِي اللَّهُ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يُعَذِّبُ عَلَى تَرْكِ السُّنَّةِ . I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! And if I was strong enough upon more than this, would Allah -azwj Punish me upon the more Salāts ?’ So he -asws said: ‘No, but He -azwj would Punish upon neglecting the Sunnah’.
[20] وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ دَخَلَ الْوَقْتَانِ الظُّهْرُ وَ الْعَصْرُ فَإِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ دَخَلَ الْوَقْتَانِ الْمَغْرِبُ وَ الْعِشَاءُ الْآخِرَةُ.وَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ بِعَرَفَةَ بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ وَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ بِجَمْعٍ بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْن And Zarara had reported that he has heard; Abi Jafar -asws said: when sun starts to decline, then time of both Al-Zohr and Al-Al-Asr sets in and (similarly) when sun disappears, the time for Al-Al-Maghrib and Al-Al-Isha sets in and the Rasool Allah -saww combined the Al-Zohr and Al-Al-Asr Salāt in ‘Arafah with one Azan and two aqamahs, and He -saww combined Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha with one Azan and two Aqamahs.
And Abd Allah Ibn Sanan has narrated that he has heard it from; Al-Sadiq-asws that Rasool Allah -saww joined the Al-Zohr and Al-Asr Salāts with one Azan and two Aqamahs, and he -saww joined the Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha Salāts without (conditions) of travel, without any (other) reasons, with one Azan and two Aqamahs.
