Chapter 28: Encouragement to pray at night even if it is little.
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud)
reported that a mention was made of a man who slept the whole night till
morning. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked:
That is a man in whose ears
(or in whose ear) the devil urinated. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 245)
Husain b. 'Ali narrated on
the authority of (his father) 'Ali b. Abu Talib that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came one night to see him ('Ali) and Fatimah (the daughter of the Holy Prophet)
and said:
Don't you observe
(Tahajjud) prayer? I ('Ali) said: Messenger of Allah, verily our souls are in
the hands of Allah and when He wants to awaken us, He awakens us. The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) went back when I said this to him. He was striking his hand on his
thigh while returning, and I heard him say: Verily the man disputes with many
things. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 246)
Abu Huraira transmitted it
from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ):
When any one of you goes to
sleep, the devil ties three knots at the back of his neck, sealing every knot
with:" You have a long night, so sleep." So if one awakes and
mentions Allah, a knot will be loosened; if he performs ablution two knots are
loosened; and if he prays (all) knots will be loosened, and in the morning he
will be active and in good spirits; otherwise we will be in bad spirits and
sluggish in the morning. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 247)
