5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ’Isma‘il al-Al-Ju‘fiy who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The best compensatory prayer for a Salah (prayer) missed is the compensatory prayer during the night for what is missed during the night and what is missed during the day is made during the day.’ I then said, ’So there will be two al-Witr in one night.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, there will not be two al-Witr.’ I then said, ‘Why then do you instruct me to perform two al-Witr in one night?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One of them is a compensatory prayer for what is missed.’”

- Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation.

Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
