Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And this is of the same kind as the other forbidden sayings in the mosques, whether they are forbidden in the mosque and elsewhere, such as obscenities and foul language, or the mosque is protected from them, such as selling, calling out for lost items, carrying out hudud punishments, and the like
Some of the later scholars, from among our companions and others, have mentioned that it is recommended to stand in prayer on this night with the prayer they call the Thousand, because it involves reciting[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] a thousand times. They may also recommend fasting, and their basis for this specific matter is the hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it. They may also rely on the general texts that include this prayer, on what has come regarding the virtue of this night specifically, on the athar regarding its observance, and on custom, since it contains benefits and advantages that necessitate recommendation, like its kind of worship
As for the marfu' hadith regarding this Thousand prayer: it is a false fabrication, agreed upon by the scholars of hadith. As for the general texts indicating the recommendation of prayer, they are true, but the specific act, but, but, but, the specific act is either recommended in itself, or recommended for the general meaning it contains. As for the general meaning: it does not necessitate making its specific form recommended. Whoever recommended it mentioned it in the restricted voluntary prayers, like the Dhuha prayer and the Tarawih prayer. This is an error, and for this reason, none of the renowned imams, neither the early nor the late ones, mentioned this. The dislike of specification is because it became a habit to specify what has no specific status by belief and economy, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked singling out Friday and the last days of Sha'ban for fasting, and singling out the night of Friday for standing in prayer. This became similar to if one innovated a restricted prayer for the nights of the ten days, or between the two 'Isha' prayers, and the like.

The Shaykh : singling out
The reader: "and singling out the night of Friday for standing in prayer. This became similar to if one innovated a restricted prayer for the nights of the ten days, or between the two 'Isha' prayers, and the like. So worship is of three types: one is what is recommended in itself, like the restricted voluntary prayers of the two rak'ahs of Fajr and the standing in Ramadan"
The Shaykh : not how, like the restricted voluntary prayer with travel
The reader: Correcting, O Shaykh, or adding
The Shaykh : I don't know, by Allah, I am afraid that I have a missing part
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Do you have a reason
The reader: Because it will come to us, O Shaykh, and among them is what is restricted by a cause, like the prayer for rain and the prayer for eclipses
The Shaykh : This is what I have, like the restricted voluntary prayer by a cause, and what do you have?
The reader: Like the restricted voluntary prayer of the two rak'ahs of Fajr
The Shaykh : Ah?
The reader: Like the restricted voluntary prayer of the two rak'ahs of Fajr
The Shaykh : of the two rak'ahs of Fajr
The reader: From the two rak'ahs of Fajr, here he says, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you, at the phrase "like the restricted voluntary prayer," he said in the marginal note: "From here until the phrase 'by the cause of the prayer for rain,' a line and a half is missing from the Ta'" It appears, O Shaykh, that the manuscript with you is the one indicated by the Ta'
The Shaykh : Yes, fine, read it
The reader: Read it
The Shaykh : specifically, what is recommended specifically
The reader: "Among them is what is recommended in itself, like the restricted voluntary prayer of the two rak'ahs of Fajr and the standing in Ramadan, and the like. And among it is what is time-bound, like the standing in the night, and among it is what is restricted by a cause, like the prayer for rain and the prayer for eclipses"
The Shaykh : This is enough, we stop here. So worship is of three types, yes
