1127. Narrated 'Ali bin Abī Ṭālib رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ that one night Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to him and Fāṭima رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Don't you (both) offer the Tahajjud prayers (at night)?" I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Our souls are in the Hands of Allāh and if He wants us to get up He will make us get up." When I said that, he left us without saying anything and I heard that he was hitting his thigh and saying, "...But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything." (V.18:54)

1127 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَرَقَهُ وَفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ النَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لَيْلَةً، فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ تُصَلِّيَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا، فَانْصَرَفَ حِينَ قُلْنَا ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ مُوَلٍّ يَضْرِبُ فَخِذَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: {وَكَانَ الإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا} [الكهف: 54]
