Hadith 433
اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَهْمَسٌ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ : إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانَ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا ، وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا " .
Once, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon from the pulpit and said: I am narrating to you a hadith which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not out of miserliness that I would refrain from conveying it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Standing guard for one night in the path of Allah is superior to a thousand nights of standing in prayer and fasting during the day.
