Hadith 63
عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ أَبِي مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ : أَيُّ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي، فَقَالَ : " نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ "، شَكَّ عَوْفٌ، وَقَلِيلٌ فَاعِلُهُ .
Abu Muslim said that I asked Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Which part of the night is the best for standing (in prayer)?" Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I also asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) just as you have asked me, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The middle of the night.'" 'Awf (the narrator) is in doubt, and those who do it are few.
