Masruq says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Which deed was the most beloved to the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" She replied, "The one that is done consistently." I asked, "At what time during the night did the Prophet (peace be upon him) stand (for prayer)?" She replied, "When he heard the crowing of the rooster."
