Musnad Abi Ya'la 622 — We asked Sayyiduna Ali about the voluntary
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا عَنْ تَطَوُّعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّهَارِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَهُ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : أَخْبِرْنَا بِهِ نَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ مَا أَطَقْنَا ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ أَمْهَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا ، يَعْنِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ ، مِقْدَارُهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ هَا هُنَا ، يَعْنِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ ، قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا ، يَعْنِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ ، مِقْدَارُهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ مِنْ هَا هُنَا ، يَعْنِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ ، قَامَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعًا ، وَأَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا ، وَأَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ ، وَالنَّبِيِّينَ ، وَمَنْ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : فَتِلْكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّهَارِ ، وَقَلَّ مَنْ يُدَاوِمُ عَلَيْهَا .
Asim bin Damrah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the day. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You will not be able to bear it." We said: "Tell us about it, and we will take from it as much as we are able." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed Fajr, he would wait until, when the sun was as high on the eastern side as it is on the western side at the time of the Asr prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand and offer two rak'ahs. Then he would wait until, when the sun was as high on the eastern side as it is on the western side at the time of the Zuhr prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand and offer four rak'ahs. And he would offer four rak'ahs before Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, two rak'ahs after it, and four rak'ahs before Asr. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would separate every two rak'ahs by sending salutations upon the angels brought near, the noble prophets, and the believers and Muslims who are with them (in the form of the tashahhud)." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "So these are sixteen rak'ahs in all, the voluntary prayers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during the day, and very few people are able to keep them up regularly."
