Praying at Night When People are Asleep

Hadith: Arabic Text followed by English Translation.

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:

( إِنَّ فِي الجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تُرَى ظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا وَبُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا) ،

فَقَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: لِمَنْ هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟

قَالَ: ( لِمَنْ أَطَابَ الكَلَامَ ، وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ ، وَأَدَامَ الصِّيَامَ، وَصَلَّى بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ)

رواه الترمذي (1956) وحسنه الألباني في “صحيح الترمذي”

‘Ali said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Verily in Paradise there are chambers, the outside of which may be seen from the inside, and the inside of which may be seen from the outside.”

A Bedouin stood up and said: Who are they for, O Messenger of Allah?

He said: “For those who speak kind words, give food, fast regularly, and pray at night when people are asleep.”
