اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ، الصَّلَاةُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After the obligatory prayers, the most virtuous prayer is the prayer in the middle of the night."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1514)
From this hadith, the virtue of Tahajjud (night prayer) is established, and it is shown that performing it in the middle of the night is superior. It is proven from the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that he performed prayer at the beginning of the night, the middle of the night, and the end of the night; therefore, whenever one finds the opportunity, one should perform it, because after the obligatory prayers, it holds the greatest virtue among all prayers.
