2⃣عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ صَلِّ فِی الْعِشْرِینَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثَمَانِیاً بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ اثْنَتَیْ عَشْرَةَ رَکْعَةً بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَإِذَا کَانَتِ اللَّیْلَةُ الَّتِی یُرْجَی فِیهَا مَا یُرْجَی فَصَلِّ مِائَةَ رَکْعَةٍ تَقْرَأُ فِی کُلِّ رَکْعَةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَقْوَ قَائِماً قَالَ فَجَالِساً قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَقْوَ جَالِساً قَالَ فَصَلِّ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَی فِرَاشِکَ.

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: In the first twenty nights of Ramadan, read eight rak'ahs after Maghrib and twelve rak'ahs after Isha. Then, on the night when hope is expected for reaching Laylat al-Qadr, pray one hundred rak'ahs, reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas ten times in each rak'ah! I said: May I be sacrificed for you! What if I don't have the strength to stand? He replied: Then pray sitting! I said: What if I don't have the strength to sit? He replied: Then pray while lying on your back in your bed!
