Commentary:
(1)
By "forty nights" is meant a continuous period of forty days and nights.
(2)
By performing the prayer in congregation continuously for forty days, one develops the habit, and then, in the rest of one’s life, is granted the ability to remain steadfast in attending the congregation. The result of this is attaining Allah’s pleasure and freedom from Hellfire.
(3)
According to some scholars, this narration is hasan (good). However, the wording (لَا تَفُوْتُهُ الرَّكعَةُ الاُوْلٰي) — that the first rak‘ah (unit) of the ‘Isha prayer is not missed — is not established. Without these words, in their view, the narration is sahih (authentic).
