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