7347. Narrated 'Alī bin Abī Tālib that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to him and Fāṭima السلام عليها, the daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, at their house at night and said, “Won't you offer prayers?” 'Alī replied, “O Allāh's Messenger! Our souls are in the Hands of Allāh, and when he wants us to get up, He makes us get up.” When 'Alī said that to him, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ left without saying anything to him. While the Prophet ﷺ was leaving, 'Alī heard him striking his thigh (with his hand) and saying, “But man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.” (V.18:54)
