Reading from the author's words, with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "So acts of worship are three: some are recommended in themselves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "So acts of worship are three: some are recommended in themselves, such as the restricted voluntary prayers, including the two rak'ahs of Fajr, the night prayer of Ramadan, and the like. Of these, some are time-bound, such as the night prayer. And some are bound to a cause, such as the prayer for rain and the eclipse prayer. Then it may be determined in the Shari'ah by a number, such as witr. Or it may be unrestricted with the virtue of the time, such as the prayer on Friday before the prayer. Thus, the categories of the restricted become four"
The Shaykh : Repeat, repeat.

The Shaykh : So acts of worship are three
The reader: "So acts of worship are three: some are recommended in themselves, such as the restricted voluntary prayers, including the two rak'ahs of Fajr, the night prayer of Ramadan, and the like. Of these, some are time-bound, such as the night prayer. And some are bound to a cause, such as the prayer for rain and the eclipse prayer. Then it may be determined in the Shari'ah by a number, such as witr. Or it may be unrestricted with the virtue of the time, such as the prayer on Friday before the prayer. Thus, the categories of the restricted become four"
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "And of the acts of worship, some are recommended by the generality of their meaning, such as the unrestricted voluntary prayer, for when the sun rises, the prayer is witnessed and attended until one prays 'Asr. And some are disliked to be specified without being accompanied by something else, such as the night prayer of Friday. It may also be disliked absolutely, except in specific circumstances, such as prayer in the prohibited times. For this reason, the scholars differed regarding the dislike of prayer after Fajr and 'Asr: is it so as not to lead to targeting prayer in this time, in which case it is permitted for those with causes that occur, or is it an absolute prohibition from which nothing is excepted except the amount of need? There are two opinions, which are two narrations from Ahmad, and there are other opinions of the scholars in this"
