أنبأ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَنْبُوَيْهِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " فِي الْمُزَّمِّلِ {قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا نِصْفَهُ} [المزمل: ٢] نَسَخَتْهُ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِيهَا {عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ} وَنَاشِئَةُ اللَّيْلِ: أَوَّلُهُ، كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُمْ لَأَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: هُوَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ تُحْصُوا، مَا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا نَامَ لَمْ يَدْرِ مَتَى يَسْتَيْقِظُ، وَقَوْلُهُ: {أَقْومُ قِيلًا} [المزمل: ٦] هُوَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُفْقَهَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ، وَقَوْلُهُ {إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا} [المزمل: ٧] يَقُولُ: فَرَاغًا طَوِيلًا ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the verse of Surah al-Muzzammil, 'Stand (in prayer) through the night, except a little, half of it' [Surah al-Muzzammil: 2-3], was abrogated by this verse: 'He knows that you will never be able to keep it up, so He has turned to you in mercy; so recite as much of the Qur'an as is easy for you' [Surah al-Muzzammil: 20]. This was their prayer in the early part of the night. He says: This is more suitable for you to be able to keep count of what Allah has made obligatory upon you of the night prayer, (for) when a person goes to sleep, he does not know when he will wake up. And the saying of Allah, 'more upright in speech' [Surah al-Muzzammil: 6]: this is more fitting for one to understand the Qur'an. And the saying of Allah, 'Indeed, for you in the day is prolonged occupation' [Surah al-Muzzammil: 7]: by 'sabhan tawilan' is meant ample free time.
