NIGHT PRAYERS.
Know verily that, praying in the mid night serves as an honour and dignity for the believers most especially in this blessed month of Ramadān.
In this regard, it was reported from Sahl Ibn Sa’d who said: Angel Jibrīl alayhissalatu wasalam came to the Messenger sallallāhu a’layhi wasallam and said to him:
_ﻳَﺎ ﻣُﺤَﻤَّﺪُ ﻋِﺶْ ﻣَﺎ ﺷِﺌْﺖَ ﻓَﺈِﻧَّﻚَ ﻣَﻴِّﺖٌ ﻭَﺍﻋْﻤَﻞْ ﻣَﺎ ﺷِﺌْﺖَ ﻓَﺈِﻧَّﻚَ ﻣَﺠْﺰِﻱٌّ ﺑِﻪِ ﻭَﺃَﺣْﺒِﺐْ ﻣَﻦْ ﺷِﺌْﺖَ ﻓَﺈِﻧَّﻚَ ﻣُﻔَﺎﺭِﻗُﻪُ ﻭَﺍﻋْﻠَﻢْ ﺃَﻥَّ ﺷَﺮَﻑَ ﺍﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻦِ ﻗِﻴَﺎﻡُ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻴْﻞِ ﻭَﻋِﺰَّﻩُ ﺍﺳْﺘِﻐْﻨَﺎﺅُﻩُ ﻋَﻦِ ﺍﻟﻨَّﺎﺱ._
O Muhammad, live as you wish, for you will die. Work as you wish, for you will be repaid accordingly. Love whomever you wish, for you will be separated. Know that the nobility of the believer is in praying at night and his honor is in his independence from people.
It is classified as Hasan by shaykh Al-Albānī in “Sahīhu Al-Jāmi'”
The prayer at night during Ramadān is not like praying at night in other months. Thus, keep off from laziness, excessive sleeping and laxity. And hasten to use your night for sujud thereby getting closer to your lord.
