the night, let him open his prayer with two light rakʿahs.” (1) Reported by Muslim.

1188 – ʿĀʾishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose for the night prayer, he would begin with two light rakʿahs. Reported by Muslim.

1189 – She also said: If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ missed the night prayer because of illness or for any other reason, he would perform twelve rakʿahs during the day. Reported by Muslim.

1190 – ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever sleeps through his allotted portion (2) of recitation, or part of it, and then recites it between the dawn prayer and the noon prayer, it will be recorded for him as though he had recited it during the night.” Reported by Muslim.

1191 – Abū Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “May Allah have mercy on a man who rises at night to pray, then awakens his wife; if she refuses, he sprinkles water on her face. And may Allah have mercy on a woman who rises at night to pray, then awakens her husband; if he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face.” Reported by Abū Dāwūd with a sound chain.

1192 – Abū Hurayrah and Abū Saʿīd, may Allah be pleased with them both, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If a man wakes his household at night and they pray—or he and she pray two rakʿahs together—they will be recorded among the men and women who remember Allah much.” Reported by Abū Dāwūd with a sound chain.

1193 – ʿĀʾishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If any of you becomes drowsy while praying, let him lie down until the sleep has left him, for if he prays while drowsy he may intend to seek forgiveness but end up cursing himself instead.” Agreed upon.

(1) I note that collections other than Sahih Muslim transmit this hadith from Abu Hurayra as marfuʿ, describing an action done by the Prophet ﷺ, and this is the sound version. The wording that presents it as his verbal statement is anomalous, as I demonstrated in Daʿif Abi Dawud, no. 240. – N. (2) That is, whatever a person voluntarily assigns to himself of Qurʾan recitation or prayer, like a regular wird (daily devotional regimen).

اللَّيْلِ فَلْيَفْتَحِ الصَّلَاةَ بِرُكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ» (١) رواه مسلم . ١١٨٨ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : كَانَ رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ افْتَتَحَ صَلَاتَهُ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ، رواه مسلم . ١١٨٩ - وعنها رضي الله عنها قالت : كَانَ رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، إِذَا فَاتَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مِنْ وَجَعٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ ، صَلَّى مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً . رواه مسلم . ١١٩٠ - وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ حِزْبِهِ (٢) أَوْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ ، فَقَرَأَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ ، كُتِبَ لَهُ كَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ » رواه مسلم . ١١٩١ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « رَحِمَ اللَّهُ رَجُلًا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَصَلَّى وَأَيْقَظَ امْرَأَتَهُ ، فَإِنْ أَبَتْ نَضَحَ فِي وَجْهِهَا الْمَاءَ ، وَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأَةً قَامَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّتْ ، وَأَيْقَظَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَإِنْ أَبَى نَضَحَتْ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْمَاءَ » رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح . ١١٩٢ - وعنه وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنهما قالا : قال رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « إِذَا أَيْقَظَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّيَا - أَوْ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا ، كُتِبَا فِي الذَّاكِرِينَ وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ » رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح . ١١٩٣ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، أن النبي ﷺ قال : « إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ نَاعِسٌ ، لَعَلَّهُ يَذْهَبُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ » متفق عليه .

(١) « قلت : وهو عند غير مسلم عن أبي هريرة مرفوعاً من فعله ﷺ ، وهو الصواب ، وأما من قوله فشاذ ، كما حققته في « ضعيف أبي داود » ( ٢٤٠ ) - ن - . (٢) هو ما يجعله الرجل على نفسه من قراءة أو صلاة كالورد .
