Why do Shias prostrate on mud?
Abu Sa'eed used to relate that he had
seen the Prophet doing his prostration (Sijdah ) on wet mud, so much so that he
could see the stains of mud on his forehead.Saheeh Bukhari, Part I, p.
104
The Prophet used to rest his forehead on
the earth (turba) while prostrating.Saheeh
Bukhari, Part 1, p. 97
The Prophet used to do his prostration on
Khumrah (Sijdaghah).(1) Saheeh
Bukhari, Part 2, p. 214 & p.243(2) Jam'a Tirmizee, p.46
(3) Kanzul Ummal, Part 2, p.
12
The Prophet declared that the best spot
for prostration was the earth or a thing that grows from the
earth.Kanz-ul-Ummal Part 4. p.
113
"The Prophet said to his wife Umme Salma,
"Please fetch the 'Khamrah' (Sajdaghah) from the mosque." The word
Khumrah means a small piece of chatai made from palmleaf on which only the head
could be rested when prostrating. lbn-e-Aseer in his Jam'a-ul-Usool has written,
"Khumrah is the Sijdagah on which the Shi'as of our time perform their
prostration on."
"I maintain that by this tradition it is
'sunnat' to keep a 'sajdagah'. Those who forbid it and call it the way of the
'Rafzees' are wrong. To practice this 'sunnat', I often perform my prostration
on a fan made from palmleaf and do not care about the criticism of the ignorant.
We are concerned only with the 'sunnat' of the Prophet, no matter whether they
call it the way of the 'Rafzees' or 'Kharijees'. Let them rave about
it."

Why do Shias pray Noon/Afternoon and Evening/Night prayers
together?
It is narrated on the authority of
Ibn-e-Abbas (that he said) that the Messenger of Allah said the prayers of Zohr
and 'Asr together as also the prayer of Maghrib and 'Isha, although he was
neither in a state of fear nor on a journey.Saheeh Muslim, Vol. I p.264
Ibn-e-Abbas narrates that the Messenger of Allah recited the Zohr &
'Asr prayers together and also said the Maghrib and 'Isha prayers together
although he was neither in a state of fear nor was there any other cause e.g.
rains. It is related from Wakee' that he asked Ibn-e-Abbas the reason (for the
joint prayers). Ibn-e-Abbas replied "So that the followers may not experience
inconvenience and difficulty."(1) Saheeh
Muslim, Vol. I, p.265(2) Jam'a Tirmizee, p. 54
Abdullah Bin Shaqeeq narrates that
one day after the 'Asr prayer Ibn-e-Abbas began giving a sermon which was so
enduring that the sun set and the stars appeared. People began to shout,
"Prayers! Prayers! (as it was time for Maghrib prayers). Ibn-e-Abbas paid no
heed to them until someone from Bani Tameem stood up and shouted incessantly,
"Prayers! Prayers!" Ibn-e-Abbas then said, "Woe unto you! You wish to teach me
the tradition!" He said further, "I have personally seen the Messenger of Allah
say the Zohr and 'Asr prayers together and the Maghrib and 'Isha prayers
together." The narrator says, "This statement of Ibn-e-Abbas kept pinching
my conscience until I went and asked Abu Huraira about it and he attested what
Ibn-e-Abbas had said."Saheeh Muslim, Vol.
1 p. 265
It is related from Ibn-e-Abbas that the
Prophet at one time recited seven raka'ats of prayers and at other time eight
rakaats (all at once) i.e. he recited the Maghrib and 'Isha prayers together and
Zohr and 'Asr prayers together.Saheeh
Bukhari, Part I, p.72
It is narrated by Ibn-e-Abbas that at
Medina, the Prophet used to say two prayers together (Zohr & 'Asr and
Maghrib & 'Isha) without there being any fear or rainfall. When asked about
the reason for this he said "The Prophet desired that his followers may not
suffer inconvenience and therefore the two prayers could be recited
together.Sunan Nasaee, p. 290
