اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ ، عَنْ الْأَغَرِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، وَأَيْقَظَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَصَلَّيَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، كُتِبَا مِنَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed and Abu Hurairah said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` ‘When a man wakes up at night and wakes his wife, and they pray two Rak’ah, they will be recorded among the men and women who remember Allah much.”
Brief Explanation
1؎ : Regarding them, it is mentioned in the Qur'an: «والذاكرين الله كثيرا والذاكرات» "Men and women who remember Allah much" (Al-Ahzab: 35). From this hadith, it is understood that even two rak‘ahs for standing in the night (qiyam al-layl, tahajjud) are sufficient, and the Sunnah is eight, ten, or twelve rak‘ahs, followed by witr. If even two rak‘ahs are not possible, then one should at least remain on the bed for a short while, supplicating and seeking forgiveness, and even this remembrance of Allah is valuable.
