مُسْنَدُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 318 — we asked Sayyiduna Ali about the (voluntary)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ضَمْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ النَّهَارِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: قُلْنَا: مَنْ أَطَاقَ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا، فَقَالَ: «كَانَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنْ هَا هُنَا عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ، صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنْ هَا هُنَا عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ، صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ»
It is narrated from Asim bin Damrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that we asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the (voluntary) daytime prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "You will not be able to manage it." We said: "Whoever among us is able to (will do it)." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When the sun was (in the east) at the position at which it is (in the west) at the time of Asr, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray two rak'ahs; and when the sun was (in the east) at the position at which it is (in the west) at the time of Zuhr, he would pray four rak'ahs. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would separate every two rak'ahs by sending salutations (through the tashahhud) upon the angels brought near, the prophets, and the prophets and messengers who followed in their footsteps."
