بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِChapter on what is reported regarding night prayer
Hadith 257
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذِهِ ؟ " فَقِيلَ لَهُ : هَذِهِ الْحَوْلَاءُ بِنْتُ تُوَيْتٍ لَا تَنَامُ اللَّيْلَ ، فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى عُرِفَتِ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا لَكُمْ بِهِ طَاقَةٌ "
Ismail bin Hakeem heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, that he mentioned a woman who used to pray all night. He asked, "Who is this woman?" The people said, "She is Hawla, the daughter of Tuwait, who does not sleep at night." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, disliked this matter to the extent that displeasure became apparent on his blessed face. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Allah does not tire (of giving reward) until you tire (of worship), so do as much as you are able."
