1126. Narrated Umm Salama رضي الله عنها: One night the Prophet ﷺ got up and said, “Subḥān Allāh!”(1) How many Al-Fitan (trials and afflictions) has been sent down tonight and how many treasures have been sent down (disclosed). Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings up [for Ṣalāt (prayers)], perhaps a well-dressed in this world may be naked in the Hereafter.”
1126 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ هِنْدٍ بِنْتِ الحَارِثِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَيْقَظَ لَيْلَةً، فَقَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ الفِتْنَةِ، مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الخَزَائِنِ، مَنْ يُوقِظُ صَوَاحِبَ الحُجُرَاتِ؟ يَا رُبَّ كَاسِيَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٍ فِي الآخِرَةِ»
