Virtue of Tahajjud prayer and fasting in Muharram
Hadith 410
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ؟ وَأيُّ الصَّيَامِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ صِيَامِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ؟ فَقَالَ: ((أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، وَأَفْضَلُ الصَّيَامِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرُ اللَّهِ الْمُحَرَّمُ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates in a marfu’ form that it was asked from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Which prayer is the best after the obligatory prayers? Which fast is the best after the fast of Ramadan? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “After the obligatory prayer, the best prayer is a person’s prayer in the last third of the night, and after the fast of Ramadan, the best fast is the fast of Allah’s month, Muharram.”
