It is narrated from a narrator concerning Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): "Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) (presented this example of abundant worship, that he) would regularly fast by day and spend the whole night standing in prayer before Allah, except for resting a little while in the early part of the night."
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it.
