[He said:] "I said: 'A fourth?' He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.' I said: 'Then half?' He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish. And if you add more it would be better [for you].'" [He said:] "I said: 'Then two-thirds? 'He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.' I said: 'Should I make all of my Salat for you?' He (ﷺ) said: 'Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.'
