Hadith 397

Hadith.1967 – Imam (as) was asked about the prayer during the Month of Ramadan and said:
"It is prayed as in other months. However, Month of Ramadan holds additional merit over other months, so it is appropriate for a servant to increase their voluntary prayers. If one desires and has the strength, they may add twenty rak'ahs each night during the first twenty nights, in addition to what they usually pray. Of these twenty rak'ahs, twelve are prayed between Maghrib and 'Isha, and eight after 'Isha. Then, the usual night prayer is prayed, consisting of eight rak'ahs, followed by the three rak'ahs of witr: two rak'ahs with a taslim, then a single rak'ah with qunut, completing the witr. Afterward, the two rak'ahs of Fajr are prayed until dawn breaks, making thirteen rak'ahs in total.
When ten nights remain in Month of Ramadan, thirty rak'ahs may be prayed each night, apart from these thirteen rak'ahs. Of these thirty rak'ahs, twenty-two are prayed between Maghrib and 'Isha, and eight after 'Isha. Then, the night prayer of thirteen rak'ahs is prayed as previously described.
On the nights of the 21st and 23rd, if one has the strength, one may pray one hundred rak'ahs in each of these nights, apart from the thirteen rak'ahs. Let them stay awake until morning in prayer, supplication, and humility, as it is hoped that one of these nights will be Laylat al-Qadr."
