Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man wakes up his family at night, then they both perform ablution, and both of them offer prayer, they will be written among the men and women who remember Allah much."

Narrated Abu Saeed and Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a man awakens his wife at night, and then both pray or both offer two rak'ahs together, the (name of the )man will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah, and the (name of the) woman will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah. Ibn Kathir did not narrate this tradition as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ, but he reported it as a statement of Abu Saeed. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ibn Mahdi from Sufyan and I think he mentioned the name of Sufyan. He also said: The tradition transmitted by Sufyan is a statement of the Companion (and not that of the Prophet).
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1309. English Commentary: Benefit: In this hadith, there is, as it were, an indication towards the explanation (tafsir) of the noble verse: ﴿وَالذّٰكِرينَاللَّهَكَثيرًا وَالذّٰكِرٰتِأَعَدَّاللَّهُلَهُممَغفِرَةًوَأَجرًا عَظيمًا﴾... Surah al-Ahzab 35: “For the men who remember Allah abundantly and the women who remember Allah abundantly, Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.”
