Habib Abu Salamah

It is narrated from Abu Salamah that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were neither stingy nor did they put on a deathly show of frailty in devotion. They would recite poetry in their gatherings and recall the affairs of the time of ignorance. But when something was sought from any one of them in a matter of his religion, his eyelids would roll as though he were mad.

Abu Salamah narrates that the night before the Day of Resurrection will be the length of three nights. So those who fear Allah will get up and pray, until when they have finished their prayer they will go back and sleep, until their sides grow weary. Then they will get up and pray, until when they have finished their prayer they will begin to await the sun from the place of its rising. But then, suddenly, the sun will come out from the west.
