visited me and Fatimah رضي الله عنه one night and said, ‘Do you not observe prayer (at night)?’”

“The messenger of Allah said, ‘When any of you sleeps, Satan ties three knots at the back of his neck. He recites this incantation at every knot: ‘You have a long night so sleep.’ If he awakes and remembers Allah, one knot is loosened. If he performs wudu, the (second) knot is loosened; and if he performs prayer, (all) knots are loosened. He begins his morning in a happy and refreshed mood; otherwise, he gets up in bad spirits and sluggish state.”
(Al Bukhari and Muslim)
said,
“O people, promote the greetings, feed (the poor and needy) and perform salat when others are asleep so that you will enter jannah safely.”

“The prophet performed the night prayer in pairs (i.e. rak’ah) and made it odd number by observing one rak’ah (as witr)
(Al Bukhari and Muslim)
used to perform eleven rak’ah (of tahajjud) prayers at night. He would prostrate so long as one of you might recite fifty ayat (of the Qur’an). Thereafter, he would perform two rak’ah before fajr prayers and would lie down on his right side till the mu’adhdhin would come and inform him about the time of (Fajr) prayer.”
(Al Bukhari)

He use to sleep half the night, get up to perform salah for one third of it, then sleep through the remaining one sixth of it; and he use to observe saum on alternative days.’”
(Al Bukhari and Muslim)
saying,
‘Every night there is a special time during which whatever a Muslim asks Allah of any good relating to this life or hereafter, it will be granted to him, and this moment comes every night.’”
