Arabic text

1322 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ} [الذاريات: 17]، قَالَ: «كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ»، زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى: وَكَذَلِكَ تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ

Commentary

This verse exhorts Believers to perform late-night voluntary prayer (Qiyām-ul-Lail) as well as provides extended time to do that. That is, voluntary prayer performed between Maghrib and Ishā', as the Companions did, is as good as late-night prayer.
