1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَظِلالُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالآصالِ قَالَ هُوَ الدُّعَاءُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَهِيَ سَاعَةُ إِجَابَةٍ.

Published English translation

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Asbat from Ghalib ibn ‘Abd Allah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “About the words of Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, ‘All in the heavens and the earth prostrate themselves before Allah, either of their own free will or by force, just as do their shadows in the mornings and evenings,’ (13:15) the Imam said, ‘This is prayer before sunrise and before sunset and it is the hour in which prayers are heard.’”
