حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُرَشِيِّ ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَمَضَانَ ، فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى بَقِيَ سَبْعٌ ، فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا اللَّيْلَةَ الرَّابِعَةَ ، وَقَامَ بِنَا اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا بَقِيَّةَ لَيْلَتِنَا هَذِهِ ! قَالَ : " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا قَامَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ حُسِبَ لَهُ بَقِيَّةُ لَيْلَتِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا السَّادِسَةَ ، وَقَامَ بِنَا السَّابِعَةَ ، وَقَالَ : وَبَعَثَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ ، فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَنْ يَفُوتَنَا الْفَلَاحُ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَمَا الْفَلَاحُ ؟ قَالَ : السُّحُورُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we observed the fasts of Ramadan with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform Qiyam (night prayer) with us for the entire month. When the 24th night came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Qiyam with us until about a third of the night had passed. When the next night came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform Qiyam with us again. On the 26th night, he performed such a long Qiyam with us that about half of the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would continue to lead us in prayer for the rest of the night?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No. When a person stands with the Imam and remains with him until he finishes, it is as if he has spent the whole night in prayer." On the next night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again did not perform Qiyam with us. On the 28th night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered his family, and the people also gathered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer for so long that we feared missing 'Falah.' I asked about the meaning of 'Falah,' and he explained that it means Suhoor (pre-dawn meal). Then he said, "O nephew! After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform Qiyam with us on any night of the month."
