The Night Prayer (Qiyaam al-Layl)

Night prayer in the lives of the early Muslims

Imām AlHasan AlBasri said: “I did not find any worship more powerful than ṣalāh in the middle of the night”.

Abu Uthmaan AlHindi said: “I was the guest of Abu Huraira for seven [days]. He, his wife, and his servant would divide the night into three parts, praying one part and staying awake for another part”.

When Shaddad ibn Aws would go to bed, he would be like a grain in a frying pan. Then he would say: “Oh Allāh, hell-fire does not stop me from sleeping”. Then he would stand to pray.


Taawus would strongly awaken his family, then he would make wudhu and face the qibla until morning. He would say “The sleep of the worshippers has caused them to completely stop remembering the hell-fire!”
