It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during the first twenty days of Ramadan, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would both sleep and pray, but when the last ten days began, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would strive hard and tighten his waistcloth.
