6. “Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mutahhar who wrote to abu Muhammad , and informed him (the Imam) about a Hadith about the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. It said that he (the Messenger of Allah) performed thirteen Rak‘at prayers including al-Witr and the two Rak‘at morning prayer during the nights in the month of Ramadan. He (the Imam) wrote, ‘May Allah break his (narrator’s) mouth. He (the Holy Prophet) during the month of Ramadan in the first twenty nights performed twenty Rak‘ats every night. He (the Messenger of Allah) performed eight Rak‘at after al-Maghrib prayer and twelve after ‘Isha’ (late evening) prayer. He would take a shower on the nineteenth, twenty-first and twenty-third nights. In those nights, he performed one hundred Rak‘at prayers in each Rak‘at, of which he read Chapter 1 and Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran ten times. He would perform thirty Rak‘at in the remaining nights to the end of the month, as I have explained for you.’”
