night) during any part of it, until there were seven
nights left. He
led us in praying Qiyam on the seventh night until
approximately one
third of the night had passed. Then on the sixth
night which followed
it he did not lead us in prayer. Then he led us
in praying Qiyam on
the fifth night which followed it until almost
half the night had
passed. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, would that
we had offered
voluntary prayers throughout the whole night.’ He said:
‘Whoever
stands with the Imam until he finishes, it is equivalent to
spending
the whole night in prayer.’ Then on the fourth night which
followed
it, he did not lead us in prayer, until the third night that
followed
it, when he gathered his wives and family, and the people
gathered,
and he led us in prayer until we feared that we would miss
the
Falah.” It was asked: “What is the Falah?” He said: “Suhur.”

said: “Then he did not lead us in prayer at night for the rest
of the
month.”

(ﷺ)
mentioned the month of Ramadan and said: “A month which Allah
has
enjoined upon you to fast, and in which I have established Qiyam
(prayers at night) as Sunnah for you. So whoever fasts it and spends
its nights in prayer out of faith and in hope of reward; he will
emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”

the nape of the neck of anyone of you. If he wakes up and remembers
Allah, one knot is untied. If he performs ablution, another knot is
untied, and if he gets up to pray, all the knots are untied, so he
wakes up energetic and cheerful, he has already earned something
good.
But if he does not do that, he wakes up bad-tempered, having
earned
nothing good.”

was listening to the recitation of a man among
your Companions, for I
have never heard a recitation or a voice like
his from anyone.’ He got
up and I got up with him, to go and listen
to him. Then he turned to
me and said: ‘This is Salim, the freed
slave of Abu Hudhaifah. Praise
is to Allah Who has created such men
among my Ummah.’”
