1768 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ، وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ»

Commentary
'Tightening his waist wrap' or 'striving hard' means extraordinary toil and struggle for worship and virtue. It is better to spend all of the last ten nights of Ramadân in worship, otherwise at least the odd-numbered nights should be concentrated upon.
