Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 242-244
Chapter 27: It is recommended to recite for a long time in the
night prayers.
Hudhaifa reported:
I prayed with the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) one night and he started reciting al-Baqara. I thought that he
would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he proceeded on; I then thought
that he would perhaps recite the whole (surah) in a rak'ah, but he proceeded
and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing (this surah). He then started al-Nisa',
and recited it; he then started Al-i-'Imran and recited leisurely. And when he
recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified (by
saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great), and when he recited the verses
which tell (how the Lord) is to be begged, he (the Holy Prophet) would then beg
(from Him), and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the
Lord, he sought (His) protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my
Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing
(and then on returning to the standing posture after ruku') he would say: Allah
listened to him who praised Him, and he would then stand about the same length
of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say:
Glory be to my Lord most High, and his prostration lasted nearly the same
length of time as his standing. In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the words
are:" He (the Holy Prophet) would say:" Allah listened to him who
praised Him, our Lord, to Thee i the praise." (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 242)
'Abdullah reported:
I prayed with the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and he lengthened it till I entertained an evil thought. It was
said to him what that thought was. He said: I thought that I should sit down
and forsake him. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 243)
A hadith like
this has been narrated by A'mash with the same chain of transmitters. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 244)
