Night prayers when others sleep | Hadith
It is reported that ‘Abdullāh bin Masʿūd said:
Allāh the Mighty and Sublime laughs at two men [being pleased with them]: a man who stands in the middle of the night while his family sleeps; he purifies himself and stands in prayer, so Allāh laughs at him. And a man who meets the enemy [in battle] and his comrades are defeated; but he stands his ground until Allāh the Mighty and Sublime gives him martyrdom.
[Abū Bakr Al-Ājurrī, Faḍl Qiyām Al-Layl, article 9.]
Note: A longer version of this narration is reported from Allāh’s Messenger himself – praise and peace be upon him – in the Musnad of Aḥmad and other collections. Shaykh Al-Albānī grades it good based on other corroboratory reports (hasan lighayrihi).
[See Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Targhīb wa Al-Tarhīb article 630.]
