Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever gets up at night and says: ‘There is no deity except Allah, He is One, He has no partner, His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is powerful over everything. All praise is for Allah, and Allah is pure, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah’s help.’ Then says: ‘O Allah! Forgive my sins,’ or makes any supplication, his supplication will be accepted. Then if he performs ablution and offers prayer, his prayer will be accepted.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he began mentioning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his sermon, and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once said: "Your brother (Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him) does not utter vain things (see how he expresses truthful themes in these verses): 'Among us is Allah’s Messenger who recites to us His Book when the dawn breaks. We were blind, and he showed us the way. His word is certain, which settles in the heart. At night, he keeps his side apart from his bed, while sleep weighs heavily on the beds of the disbelievers.'"

´Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) says that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I saw this (dream) that it was as if there was a piece of istabraq (silk cloth) in my hand, and it was as if wherever in Paradise I wanted to go, it would carry me there flying, and I saw that two persons came to me. The rest of the hadith has passed earlier. (See the Book: Description of the Night Prayer... Chapter: The Virtue of the Night Prayer, i.e., Tahajjud...)
