بَابُ الْعَمَلِ فِي الدُّعَاءِActions in supplication
Hadith 511
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ كَانَ يَقُومُ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَيَقُولُ : " نَامَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَغَارَتِ النُّجُومُ وَأَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that when Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) would get up at night, he used to say: "The eyes have slept and the stars have disappeared, and You, O Lord, are Living and Ever-Awake."
