1011. Jasrah bint Dijajah said: "I heard Abū Dharr say: 'The Prophet stayed up all night repeating one verse. The verse was: If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.'"[1] (Hasan)

Arabic text

1010 - أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قُدَامَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي جَسْرَةُ بِنْتُ دَجَاجَةَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ: " قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَصْبَحَ بِآيَةٍ، وَالْآيَةُ {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ، وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة: 118] "

Commentary

It has been narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ supplicated, he would supplicate thrice. In the bowing and prostration postures, he would recite the Tasbihât (Glorification of Allâh) ten times each. What is so astonishing then in his repeating a Verse of Mercy throughout the whole night?
